I've had some hearing loss ever since I was diagnosed in June this year.I've had tinnitus for some months now and got a cold in late July which made it ten times worse - total loss of hearing on my left hand side. It's not as bad now, but it's still there and I certainly am harder of hearing on the left.I'm on cisplatin for my chemo and am having radiothrapy at the same time.The doctors tell me this could be temporary, but they obviously don't want to commit themselves either way.
