carole Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 My husband has had about 10 radiation treatments and 2 days ago seemed to lose much of his hearing. could this be from the radiation? Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcbcbc Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hi Carole-- Before I started latest chemo/adjuvant radiation I was sent for an audiology baseline exam with monthly follow -ups scheduled. I was told that the platinum drugs are the usual suspects in hearing loss. Adjuvant radiation may increase the risk. YMMV... Best wishes to you and husband. bc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
