The head and neck department at MD Anderson routinely checks hearing as part of oral cancer treatment. I was checked before , during and after treatment. The chemo and radiation can definitely affect hearing. I learned that I can't hear worth a darn ( which I already sort of knew anyway...my ex wife made it pretty clear to me! ).
After my last test the audiologist suggested that I go check into hearing aids. I will, I will, but I am still a little too vain so I am dragging my feet.
