[quote=KP5]Kevin also had Cistplatin and now has substantial hearing loss and tinnitus. It does get on his nerves for sure. I had ringing in my ear one day and he said "welcome to my world, 24/7." I felt bad. [/quote]

I'm sorry for Kevin. The first three days following Cisplat, I had such ring as to make inking impossible. I thought it was part of the chemo hangover along with the nausea, etc, but when I described it to my doc, she kind of framed out and started sending me to audiology appointments. Apparently she doesn't feel that this is a reasonable side effect. Hope she's right!

I hope Kevin's tinnitus fades a bit. I did find it beyond distracting -- I couldn't concentrate for the better part of that week! I do know they can retrain him to better be able to ignore it so maybe he can talk to an audiologist?
