I believe my severe hearing loss may have been connected with using
"Gentisone Ear Drops" prescribed as a treatment for an external auditory
canal infection. The term used for my hearing loss condition is Obliterative
Otitus Externa ( A blockage of the outer ear canal ).
Gentisone HC is a compound of Gentamicin / Hydrocortisone Acetate.
    I have kept one bottle of this from 1993 in case a connection was ever
established between my treatment and the resulting severe hearing loss.
