David, how dismaying to think it could have been avoided! I am having intermittent ringing already. I had some low-level tinnitus at baseline so it's a matter of degrees. I see my MO Monday and will discuss it. I don't think he sees Cisplatin and Carboplatin as equally proven. If your MO did, why do you think he didn't put you on Carbo in the first place?
