Does overdosing on tylenol (acetaminophen) cause deafness?

No: Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not associated with hearing loss. When it is a combination drug with narcotics... The narcotic portion is associated with hearing loss. Tylenol is commonly associated with liver toxicity if overdosed.

Not exactly: Interestingly, Acetaminophen has always been considered a safe pain medication when hearing loss was concerned. When the large population study in framingham was analyzed, however, men who regularly took acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and even Aspirin in their younger years were found to have higher rates of hearing loss than those that did not take these medications.
