Danger to Hearing?

When I met David at the Maggie Centre he was concerned to let me know that he had been told his Radiotherapy might leave him deaf.  Obviously I was concerned, but I presumed Simon Stewart would have told me about this - he knows what I do for a job.  So last Friday I spoke to someone in the RT clinic at the Cromwell and we looked at the  scans of my head.  He indicated that there was no real radiation in the area of my ears, and figured there was no danger.

I expressed my concerns about radiation damage to my hearing to Simon when I had my usual Monday meeting with him.  He has no worries about that. 

The danger, he says, is the cis Platin.  (One more dose to go)
