He did mention it to his doctor, but they're forging ahead. Last chemo (#3) is tomorrow. I honestly haven't noticed that he has lost any hearing. The TV isn't any louder, and he seems to hear everything I say just fine, so if there is loss, it seems to be minimal. I'd rather have him alive/healthy with some hearing loss than delay/change the treatment path.

Thank you all for your encouragement and information!
