Overcoming Hearing Loss In Young Cancer Patients
While not every hearing-impaired person can derive benefit from wearing a hearing instrument, the hearing industry is dedicated to fighting all forms of hearing loss regardless of cause or treatment. In this case, mention must be made of the hearing loss pediatric patients might endure as a result of being treated with the medication cisplatin for liver cancer. Cisplatin (alone and in combination with other drugs) is standard treatment for several types of pediatric cancer, and 60% or more of children treated with cisplatin have significant treatment-associated hearing loss. However, new research shows that patients with cisplatin-treated liver cancer had a 50% reduction in the risk of significant hearing loss after receiving the antioxidant sodium thiosulfate in addition to chemotherapy.
One of the most important services The Ear Clinic providesis helping our patients comprehend their hearing impairments and become aware of the ways and means available to help improve their quality of life. It’s important to us that our family, friends, and neighbors here in Meaford enjoy the world in which they live. We are committed to serving the needs of the hearing impaired no matter what their age. Can we help you? Let’s start with a complimentary hearing evaluation here at 46 Nelson Street W., across from the LCBO. Then we’ll show you the amazing, revolutionary hearing instruments available today. PH: 226-909-0966.
P.S. According to the research mentioned above, the effectiveness of cisplatin was not found to be compromised by the addition of sodium thiosulfate.
