What Makes Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuits Unique?
Tepezza was approved by the FDA in 2020 to treat thyroid eye disease—a condition marked by bulging eyes and inflammation. Unfortunately, the drug came with a hidden danger: permanent hearing damage.
The Drugmaker Knew the Risk
Early clinical trials showed hearing issues in 10% of patients. More recent studies suggest the number is closer to 65%—including cases of permanent sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and autophony. Yet, Horizon failed to update its warnings until 2023—after people had already lost their hearing.
Permanent Damage, Life-Altering Consequences
This isn’t just minor ringing in the ears. Many patients report complete or irreversible hearing loss, often after just one or two infusions. This kind of injury impacts careers, relationships, independence, and mental health.
No FDA Recall—But Lawsuits Are Mounting
Although the FDA has not issued a Tepezza recall, the agency has issued warnings about possible hearing loss associated with the drug. Courts are already consolidating Tepezza lawsuits into multidistrict litigation (MDL). Hundreds of plaintiffs are moving forward, and more are joining every week.

Compensation Available in Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuits
Victims of drug-induced hearing damage may recover damages for tangible losses and emotional suffering.
Medical Expenses and Future Treatment
This includes hearing aids, cochlear implants, ENT visits, diagnostics, and long-term hearing therapy.
Lost Income and Reduced Earning Potential
If hearing loss impacted your ability to work—or changed your career path—those losses should be part of your recovery.

Hearing loss often leads to isolation, depression, and anxiety. We work with psychological experts to document the full extent of your suffering.
Diminished Quality of Life
When you can’t enjoy music, conversation, or everyday experiences due to drug-related damage, that loss has value—and we fight to make sure it’s recognized.
Punitive Damages
If Horizon Therapeutics acted with gross negligence—by concealing risks or failing to act on warning signs—you may be eligible for punitive damages meant to punish and deter.
Common Symptoms and Situations That Lead to Tepezza Lawsuits
Many patients experienced hearing issues shortly after beginning Tepezza treatment. If any of the following scenarios describe you, you may have a product liability claim.
Permanent Hearing Loss After Tepezza Infusions
Even a single infusion has triggered irreversible auditory damage in some patients.
Tinnitus or Ringing in the Ears
This often develops during or shortly after treatment and may persist indefinitely.
Autophony or “Echo-Like” Hearing
Some victims describe a hollow, echoing sound quality that disrupts communication and concentration.
Muffled Hearing or Sound Distortion
Patients frequently report difficulty understanding speech or detecting sounds in noisy environments.
Loss of Balance or Dizziness
Since the inner ear also affects equilibrium, hearing damage can cause vertigo or balance issues.
