6 months agoYes but it doesn’t stay and it’s almost like I’m going to pass out kind of ringing and then it goes away. It got better as I got further from my chemo. I have my next round of AC Wednesday.

6 months agoI went to Costco for a hearing test and I hadn’t had anything out of the normal with regard to hearing loss. That put me at ease for my second treatment. I’ve now had my third treatment and my ears ring but now that I know that it’s probably just a side effect that goes away from a little bit more at ease about it I would definitely tell your doctor about your ringing in your ears has some chemo do have that as a side effect.
