Tepezza Lawsuit
Hearing Loss from Thyroid Eye Disease Treatment
Tepezza (teprotumumab) has been linked to permanent hearing loss and inner ear damage. If you've suffered hearing complications from Tepezza, you may have a legal claim.
What Is Tepezza?
Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw) is an FDA-approved medication used to treat thyroid eye disease (TED), a condition where the immune system attacks the eye muscles and tissues.
Manufactured by Horizon Therapeutics, Tepezza has been linked to serious hearing loss in many patients.
Hearing Loss Injuries
Lawsuits allege that Tepezza causes permanent hearing loss and ear damage. Patients report sudden or progressive hearing loss during or shortly after treatment, sometimes resulting in complete deafness in one or both ears.
Many plaintiffs were not adequately warned about this serious risk before receiving the medication.
Mechanism of Injury
Evidence suggests that Tepezza may damage the inner ear structures responsible for hearing. The exact mechanism is still being investigated, but multiple cases document severe sensorineural hearing loss linked to Tepezza infusions.
Some hearing loss has proven to be irreversible, even after stopping treatment.
Who May Qualify
Patients who received Tepezza infusions and subsequently developed hearing loss may qualify for a claim. This includes individuals who experienced sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, or ear-related complications.
Medical documentation of hearing loss and its timing in relation to Tepezza treatment is critical.
