yep, I did a search and saw a list.
supposedly, codiene, morphine, fentanyl, and methadone does not harm hearing.
"Medical research concerning Vicodin and hearing loss indicates some preliminary findings that long-term use of morphine and codeine, the "natural" opiates, do not appear to cause hearing dysfunction. Complicating the research into this phenomenon is the fact that other synthetic opiates like Fentanyl and Methadone have not been linked to hearing loss at all-yet!"
