[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 821165, member: 13254"] [COLOR=sienna][I][B] I'm pretty sure that I have read where Rush did, indeed, admit that he was addicted to Oxycontin. As I said before, I don't listen to Rush so I sure didn't hear him say so. At this point does it really matter if Rush is deaf because of that addiction? As far as I know, Rush isn't using tax dollars to get his implants ( If he is indeed getting them), or using public assistance in any form. Did Rush just decide at some point to take Oxycontin for kicks or was there a reason? Was he setting around in a circle passing a bottle of pills with his buddies and everyone getting high? Did he burglarize people's homes or rob gas stations to support his habit? I think drawing a straight line between people that are addicted to an Rx prescribed for a specific purpose such as pain from an injury and a crack head is quit a stretch. And yes, I would feel the same if it were, say..Chris Mathews or anyone else that was going through this. As far as you question: "What are the odds of going completely deaf in [I]both [/I]ears after never having a hearing issue before?", I honestly have no idea and I doubt you do either. I do know I have hearing loss in both ears and have never taken anything stronger than ibuprofen on a regular basis. [/B][/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
