Thanks Gail,

I appreciate the information and it is a high frequency hearing loss so now I understand what's going on. They discussed a lot of side effects with us but I don't remember this one.

We have a follow up with the ENT on Friday and I will ask if he sees any fluid or inflammation. The RO didn't find anything but I'll feel better if the ENT checks it out. The RO told me that the radiation could have affected Jack's hearing but felt it was too soon to tell.

It seems we're in a wait and see mode for everything these days. Thanks for your response and I'll follow up with the ENT.

Regards JoAnne
