I was recently diagnosed with deafness, I have trouble hearing on the telephone, and as I have been taking acetaminophen or panadol as we call it here for about 20 years it looks like that is the cause of it. No-one in my family has ever been deaf and that puzzled me so now I need to know - do I stop taking these drugs? Can  I become deafer? http://www.healthcentral.com/rheumatoid-arthritis/c/705561/105977/ac
