One of the side effects of Cistplatin, and one the doctors and nurses check and recheck all the time, is hearing loss.
As I woke up this morning, and all was quiet, I could "hear" a very low level, very constant, ringing in my ears. I have several instances of "serious" tinnitus during the day, but they only last for a few seconds and then go away. I had been concerned that this what what they were looking for. Maybe it is.
It's not especially bothersome (at this level), and I'll report it to the nurses on Tuesday. If this is as bad as it gets, I can live with it. If it gets much worse than this, they might have to adjust the amount of Cisplatin I'm getting next time.
