Anyone's hearing affected by cisplatin should begin to notice a difference within a week of being given the first dose. Im one of the lucky ones who did not get affected by the cisplatin, but I only had 2 doses too.

Are you talking about Lisa's Voice? This was put on in honor of Lisa Petersen who sadly passed away last October. She was a member of OCF and also good friend of mine. I greatly miss my friend Lisa! Lisa talked with me many times and had always wanted to help spread awareness and attend a walk or event with other OC survivors. Her friend Jan hosted the event and set up OC screenings. There will be at least one (possibly 2) events for Lisa's Voice next year as well. I hope to be able to attend one of them. Here is the link for the Lisa's Voice event.
