Boston: As per the study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, that if ladies taking pain killers frequently for over six years may damage their hearing capabilities. The data from more than 54,000 women between the ages of 48 and 73 was examined by the scientists. The information based on the usage of the pain killers like aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen were taken into consideration.

Gary Curhan, from Brigham and Women's Hospital in the US said, "Hearing loss is extremely common in the US and can have a profound impact on quality of life".

"Finding modifiable risk factors could help us identify ways to lower risk before hearing loss begins and slow progression in those with hearing loss," asserted Curhan.

"Although the magnitude of higher risk of hearing loss with analgesic use was modest, given how commonly these medications are used, even a small increase in risk could have important health implications," added Curhan.

He further said, "Assuming causality, this would mean that approximately 5.5 percent of hearing loss occurring in these women could be due to ibuprofen or acetaminophen use.
