Contributing Member (25+ posts) Joined: May 2009 Posts: 35 | I have a similar concern as with the case of maureenbe's brother. I had 3 cisplatin sessions, May this year, at 3-week intervals together with my 30 daily RT sessions (which I already completed June 1st).
I'm a newby to this forum and was not aware that cisplatin had hearing side effects, until I read a few posts about this. In fact, only recently had I noticed hearing ringing noises, like right now as I type this...faint, background-like continuous high-pitched hissing sound which seem to come from the direction in my upper left ear...the kind you experience after being exposed to loud noises for some time, and then went to a relatively quiet place.
So if anyone had a similar experience, I'd like to find out the extent of the side effects of cisplatin on hearing.
Thanks.
