I notice the ringing in my ears mostly when I can not get to sleep and when I want it really quiet...it just gets louder and louder. It reminds me of locusts when I was growing up in Kansas.

I read once that a standard question asked of people in psychiatric therapy is if they hear a ringing in their ears. Now, I don't know if it is from the Cisplatin or before treatment. What a dilemma. It's one of those things I just keep quiet about when the doctor is asking questions eek
