[Loop diuretics and ototoxicity].
Loop diuretics are quite often used in medical practice. In spite of a wide security, there are several adverse events that should be known, in order to be early recognised as soon as they appear. Ototoxicity associated to furosemide is infrequent and reversible. However, permanent deafness associated with furosemide administration has been previously reported.
