You should have been told to tell your MO if you had hearing issues with the Cis. That ringing in you ears is the "sound" of damage. I had 3 Cis and I have permanent high frequency hearng loss now. My first Cis was really not an issue; the 2nd was bad but the 3rd knocked me for a loop. Of course that was after 35 rads so I'm sure that played a large role in my reaction. I too had uncontrollable nausea. Time heals all.....
