Make certain your doctor knows about the ringing in the ears. This can be a side effect of cisplatin and damage can be permanent. Most have been switched to carboplatin if they get any ringing so be certain to tell doctor NOW even though you will be getting carbo. He needs to know.
Take care,
Eileen
