Hi,
My chemo was at the end of 2015 ( cytoxan and taxotere ) and I have never been aware of the fact that chemo affects hearing!
I underwent a hearing evaluation in Toronto the last week ( hearingsolutions.ca/services/hearing-evaluation ) and the audiologist mentioned the possibilities of hearing loss caused by these drugs. Have any of you faced this? Should I use a hearing aid?
Please share your thoughts.
Thank you.
