Cindy,

I had cisplatin as my chemo agent and also have hearing loss and the constant buzzing/ringing in my ears. Since I finished treatments I have had to have tubes put in my ears as the fluid was backing up and causing even more problems. Although annoying and frustrating at times, especially trying to hear people when there's a lot of background noise, I've just learned to ask people to repeat themselves. I figure this is just another part of my new "normal." Hang in there!
