This is an active lawsuit, and none of the allegations against the defendant(s) have been proven. The contents of this page reflect the allegations in the lawsuits.

Hundreds of patients have filed lawsuits involving allegations that they suffered permanent hearing loss and other permanent hearing impairments after receiving Tepezza infusions to treat thyroid eye disease (TED). Patients who are eligible to file lawsuits can seek compensation for their medical expenses and other losses, and they can engage a Tepezza hearing loss lawyer to represent them at no out-of-pocket cost.

“Patients who developed permanent hearing loss or other hearing impairments after receiving Tepezza treatments for thyroid eye disease, or Grave’s eye disease, may be eligible to join the national multidistrict litigation (MDL) and seek financial compensation for their losses. Several national law firms are filing Tepezza lawsuits in the MDL; and, for most eligible patients, it is not too late to join the Tepezza litigation.” – Dr. Nick Oberheiden, Founding Attorney of Oberheiden P.C.

If you need to seek compensation for irreversible hearing loss linked to taking Tepezza, what do you need to know? Here are some key facts about the ongoing Tepezza multidistrict litigation (MDL), the legal process for filing a Tepezza hearing loss claim, and seeking a Tepezza settlement:

5 Key Facts About the Ongoing Tepezza Lawsuits

1. Tepezza Lawsuits Involve Claims for Permanent Hearing Loss and Other Hearing Impairments

The Tepezza lawsuits filed to date involve claims for permanent hearing loss, permanent hearing damage, and other hearing problems such as tinnitus. Tepezza lawsuits claim that the thyroid eye disease (TED) medication is responsible for patients’ hearing problems, and they seek compensation for patients’ medical expenses, hearing aids, pain and suffering, and other financial and non-financial losses. With this in mind, if you have suffered sensorineural hearing loss or tinnitus—or any other form of hearing damage—after receiving Tepezza infusions, it will be worth talking to a Tepezza lawyer about your legal rights.

2. Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuits Have Been Consolidated in Federal Multidistrict Litigation (MDL)

The majority of the Tepezza hearing loss lawsuits filed to date have been consolidated in federal multidistrict litigation (the Tepezza hearing loss MDL). According to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML), there were 270 lawsuits pending in the MDL as of September 2, 2025. All of the consolidated Tepezza lawsuits pending in the MDL involve claims filed by patients (or their loved ones) who claim that they suffered hearing loss or other permanent hearing damage after undergoing thyroid eye disease treatment with Tepezza.

3. There is Not a Tepezza Hearing Loss Class Action Lawsuit

At present, there is not a Tepezza hearing loss class action lawsuit. While MDL proceedings and class action lawsuits are similar in certain respects, there are also several critical differences. Most importantly, by pursuing their claims in multidistrict litigation, plaintiffs who received Tepezza infusions and subsequently suffered hearing loss (or other hearing impairments) are eligible to seek full compensation for the financial and non-financial costs of their diagnoses.

4. Tepezza Lawsuits Center on Allegations of Failure to Warn

The Tepezza cases filed to date largely focus on allegations that the drug’s manufacturer failed to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers about the risk of significant hearing loss and other hearing impairments linked to the popular thyroid eye disease (TED) medication. Thyroid eye disease is also known as Grave’s eye disease, and common symptoms include double vision, among others. Unfortunately, many patients who sought treatment for these symptoms are now reportedly dealing with hearing problems that were not disclosed on Tepezza’s label.

5. There is Still Plenty of Time to Join the Tepezza Multidistrict Litigation (Tepezza Hearing Loss MDL)

The Tepezza hearing loss MDL is still in the early stages of the litigation process; and, as a result, eligible patients still generally have plenty of time to file. With that said, as discussed below, strict timelines apply, so patients and family members whose loved ones took Tepezza will want to consult with an experienced Tepezza lawyer promptly.

5 Key Facts About Filing a Tepezza Lawsuit

1. Patients Diagnosed with Hearing Impairments After Receiving Tepezza Infusions May Be Eligible to File

All patients who have been diagnosed with worsening sensorineural hearing loss, permanent hearing loss, and other forms of hearing damage after receiving Tepezza treatments for thyroid eye disease (Grave’s disease) may be eligible to file a Tepezza lawsuit in the MDL. With that said, every case is unique, and patients will need to consult with a Tepezza lawyer about their ability to take legal action on a case-by-case basis.

2. Eligible Patients Can Engage a Law Firm to Represent Them at No Out-of-Pocket Cost

Finding out if you are eligible to take legal action starts with scheduling a free consultation. If you are eligible to file a Tepezza lawsuit, you can then engage a law firm to represent you on a contingency-fee basis. This means you pay nothing out of pocket, and you pay nothing at all unless your lawsuit is successful.

3. Eligible Patients Can File Lawsuits Despite Tepezza’s Continuing FDA Approval

The FDA approved Tepezza in 2020; and, despite the concerns about a link between Tepezza infusions and hearing loss, Tepezza maintains its FDA approval today. However, this does not impact patients’ legal rights. Pharmaceutical lawsuits involving allegations of failure to warn regularly involve FDA-approved drugs, and patients can file lawsuits in the Tepezza hearing loss MDL despite Tepezza’s continuing FDA approval.

4. Filing a Lawsuit Claim Requires Proof of Tepezza Treatments and Proof of a Hearing Loss or Tinnitus Diagnosis

To file a lawsuit, you will need proof that you (or your loved one) received Tepezza treatments for thyroid eye disease (TED). You will also need proof of your (or your loved one’s) hearing-related diagnosis. If you don’t have all of the medical records you need, your Tepezza hearing loss lawyer will be able to assist with gathering the necessary documentation.

5. Scheduling a Free Consultation is the First Step in the Legal Process

If you have a claim related to Tepezza, scheduling a free consultation is the first step in the process. An experienced lawyer will be able to assess your legal rights and determine if you are eligible to file a Tepezza lawsuit. If you are, your lawyer can then initiate the legal process on your behalf, and your lawyer can fight for just compensation at no out-of-pocket cost to you.

5 Key Facts About Potential Tepezza Lawsuit Settlement Amounts

1. There Is Not Yet a Settlement in the Tepezza Hearing Loss MDL

There has not yet been a settlement in the Tepezza hearing loss MDL. The MDL is still in the discovery phase, and the first bellwether trial is currently scheduled for August 2026. As a result, while it is possible that we could see a Tepezza settlement at any time, it is more likely that we will not see a settlement until mid-2026 at the earliest.

2. A Tepezza Settlement is Not Guaranteed

With that said, it is important to emphasize that a settlement in the Tepezza hearing loss MDL is not guaranteed. While many successful MDL proceedings end with settlements, patients and family members who file claims must be prepared for the possibility that the Tepezza litigation will go to trial.

3. Eligible Patients Can Seek Compensation for Their Medical Expenses and Other Losses

Eligible patients (and their families) who file Tepezza lawsuits can seek compensation for all of the financial and non-financial losses resulting from their (or their loved one’s) diagnosis. This includes, but is not limited to, losses such as:

• Medical expenses
• Hearing aids and other out-of-pocket expenses
• Loss of income and benefits
• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
• Loss of consortium, companionship, and enjoyment of life

An experienced Tepezza lawyer will be able to assess the value of your claim (if you are eligible to file), and then you can use this information to decide whether you want to take legal action. If you decide to take legal action and your Tepezza lawsuit is successful, your lawyer’s fees will be deducted from your settlement or verdict.

4. Experienced Tepezza Lawyers Can Help You Make Informed Decisions About Settlement

Along with helping you decide whether to take legal action, your Tepezza lawyer will also be able to help you decide whether to accept a settlement—if a settlement is on the table. It is critical that you make an informed decision about whether to accept, as accepting a settlement will prevent you from seeking additional financial compensation in the future.

5. Strict Deadlines Apply to Filing a Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuit and Seeking a Settlement in the MDL

If you have grounds to file a Tepezza lawsuit, it will be important for you to take legal action before you run out of time to do so. All drug-related claims are subject to strict time limits, which are known as statutes of limitations. If the statute of limitations for your Tepezza claim expires before you file, you won’t be able to seek the financial compensation you deserve.
