Title: hearing loss from FSRT
Post by: Timjk on February 06, 2008, 09:40:22 am

OK, here I am again.. I started the 6 week FSRT last Monday.. Yesterday was # 7.. I laid down for a nap and when I woke up I noticed the hearing in my right ear.. (treatment side) is almost gone.. I have worn hearing aids for years which corrects most of my hearing loss. I just think it was very weird to lay down fine and wake up practically deaf in one ear.. I am going to talk to my doctor today about it.. Has anyone experienced this ?? Always, thank you for any information !!!

Tim

Tim,



Mine didn't happen quite that fast.  I had some hearing before radiation as well as after.  Until 5 months then complete deafness in ear.  The doctors never gave an explanation for it, but said its strange it happened  so fast.
