Not all side effects of cancer treatment can be seen.
Cisplatin-induced #ototoxicity often remains after treatment ends.

During #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek, we raise our voice to help ensure beating cancer doesn’t come at the cost of hearing.

#DYK When soundwaves travel through the inner ear, they stimulate sensory hair cells, triggering the nervous system to communicate with the brain.

Platinum-based treatments like cisplatin can cause #ototoxicity by damaging these cells & may result in irreversible #hearing loss.

Tinnitus is a common condition described as a ringing sound, but some people experience it as roaring or buzzing.

While #tinnitus is often the first sign of hearing loss, some medications – including cisplatin-based #chemotherapy – can cause #ototoxicity.

Survivors of childhood cancers face challenges resulting from therapies with toxic effects, like cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Cancer treatments in the formative years can damage organs, affect learning, & require lifelong support.

60-90% of patients treated with cisplatin may experience some form of hearing loss—a side effect known as #ototoxicity.

While cisplatin is a powerful cancer treatment, its impact on hearing can be life-altering.
