Gary is correct about hearing loss being rare, but I was one of the "special" persons to whom Cisplatin was very dangerous. After just two treatments, my hearing became ultra sensitive, and things like crumpling paper were extremely painful. That went away but thanks a wise older doc who had seen one of his patients go stone deaf, I was switched to Carboplatin and Taxol and have no hearing loss today. Also, no cancer. Bottom line, it is rare, but it can happen, so pay attention!
