Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Ototoxic medications include (but are not limited to) aminoglycosides, macrolides, quinolones, and some antifungals (not penicillins), aspirin and other salicylates, as well as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Neither sleep aids nor stool softeners have been implicated in ototoxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Reviews of studies identified the following risk factors for hearing impairment: male gender, increased age, genetic predisposition, exposure to noise, impacted cerumen, smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, use of ototoxic medications, education level less than or equal to high school diploma, and certain medical conditions. Colonic use and ear coverage for warmth have not been identified as risk factors to hearing loss.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
