I had one round of Cisplatin and was hit with immediate hearing damage to include ringing which I still have today. I did not get more of it after that as I was warned ahead of time to be aware of possible changes with hearing/ringing. Of course, once I received that first infusion lasting several hours the damage had already occurred. I never noticed in subsequent possible effects from it.
