Does Letrozole Cause Hearing Loss And Floaters In The Eyes?

I have been on Letrozole for 5 years. In the last month, I experienced a 50% hearing loss in my left ear and also a floater to my right eye. I am 62 years young and seeing an ENT who did an MRI (neg) and put me on Predisone with no change. Could these changes be due to my breast cancer drug?
