Kelley,
I am in exactly the same place right now - getting over a cold, sinusitus, and haven't been able to hear out my left ear for several weeks. This all happened right after I had my 8 year checkup with the ENT. Somebody here just posted an article about sinusitus and RT, it was a doctor I believe - you may want to search around for it.


DO NOT put hydrogen peroxide in your mouth! That is a very bad idea. Ever since my treatment, I had had occasional hearing issues, usually always coupled with a cold or flu. A short course of Prednisone usually resolves it. It doesn't happen overnight either. Salt and water gargle is safe however. I have also been taking regular aspirin and I think it's

It's just collateral damage from the RT. It is also very unlikely that Cisplatin would be causing hearing loss at this late date - that typically occurs very early in treatment and they would have pulled you off it.

Listen to your logical self and happy new Year.
