Hearing Loss From Carboplatin?

I'm about to start chemo treatments at Memorial Hospital in NYC. One of the caveats in the literature they gave me states "this medication may have temporary or permanent effects on your hearing, such as ringing or a stuffed sensation in the ears, hearing loss of high frequency sounds, and difficulty hearing in background noise." I already have all of the above in one of my ears but the other is fine. Is this just a warning or have any of you who have had this treatment actually had hearing problems? Did they go away? Thanks so much.

Hi, Paul here. I was glad to read your message. I to did Carboplatin and I've got maybe 5-10 % hearing in my left ear. I never associated it with the Chemo? I've been off that chemo for over a year. I'm doing Nexavar now just started 7-13-07. I have a rare lung cancer- Basil Cell Carcinoma, it's normally a surface skin cancer ??? My Dr. are not sure HOW? I'm at stage IV. I stay positive rely on GOD, Family & Friends . I hope u are doing better. God Bless and good-luck. I'm Paul Conklin in Austin, Texas. I'm a patient at MD Anderson Hospital of Houston, Tx.
