Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'ototoxic': Ototoxicity refers to the property of being toxic to the ear, specifically the cochlea or auditory nerve and sometimes the vestibular system, leading to hearing loss or balance disorders.

Identify the primary function of the ear: The ear is responsible for hearing and balance. Damage to the structures within the ear can lead to hearing loss or balance issues.

Consider the side effects of ototoxic medications: These medications can damage the inner ear structures, particularly the cochlea, which is crucial for hearing.

Evaluate the symptoms listed: Blurred vision, loss of taste, and nasal congestion are not directly related to ear function. Hearing loss is directly related to the ear and is a known symptom of ototoxicity.

Conclude that hearing loss is the condition associated with ototoxic side effects, as it directly impacts the ear's ability to function properly.
