My Mom Has Taken Percocet for 10 Years — Chances of Weening Off Causing Permanent Tinnitus?

[Justaquestion]

She will be weening off Percocet soon, and I've read they are ototoxic..

What are the chances she develops permanent tinnitus during the weening off process?
How screwed is she? She doesn't have T now, but I am wondering if she will get full blown T during this, and it bothers me to no end.

Make sure she has the doctors support and do a tiny amount reduction like 1mg every 2-4 weeks or one reduction per month.

Do you think she will get tinnitus from this?

Any medication withdrawal that works on the brain is always got a risk but most peole are ok.
Slow reduction getting use to lower dose at a plateau before next reduction.

Less risk of tinnitus if she tapers really slow. If she has used it for 10 years she should quit very slowly.
