Cancer and Hearing: An Overlooked Aspect of Survivorship
Abstract
Cancer-induced hearing loss can arise from direct effects like tumors on auditory nerves or indirect effects such as ototoxicity from treatments, leading to significant impairments in hearing perception. Hearing impairment, a common consequence of cancer treatment, can significantly impact various aspects of life. Ototoxic effects are primarily associated with chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin and carboplatin, as well as intense radiotherapy targeting the cochlea. This chapter explores how cancer can lead to hearing impairments. Assessing hearing loss related to cancer involves thorough screening protocols, following established guidelines, which include high-frequency testing, OAEs, and ABR tests. The chapter also covers various management strategies for cancer-induced hearing loss, which are aimed at alleviating hearing deficits and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with cancer-related hearing impairments.
