Watching hearing changes in children after cancer treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study follows children with solid cancers who get certain chemotherapy or head/neck radiation, to better catch early hearing loss and plan hearing support. It’s mainly observational, meaning it tracks outcomes and helps develop future follow-up and hearing rehabilitation programs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 19 years old and have a solid cancer diagnosis
- You received platinum chemotherapy (for example, certain common “platinum” drugs)
- OR you received head and neck radiation of at least 30 Gy
- You have not had chemotherapy or radiation treatment before (no prior treatment)
- You can understand study information and complete the consent process
- Your hearing test results won’t be strongly affected by certain nerve or neurological problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how radiotherapy, and possibly cisplatin chemotherapy, affect hearing in people treated for head and neck cancer. It may help doctors better predict hearing side effects and plan hearing monitoring or prevention.
This study looks at why some childhood cancer survivors develop hearing loss later in life. By examining past treatments, researchers hope to identify risk factors and improve long-term follow-up care.
This study looks at how tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hearing problems may develop after radiotherapy alone or with certain chemotherapy for high-risk head and neck cancer. The goal is to better understand who is more likely to experience these side effects.
This study tests a remote hearing test to monitor hearing changes in patients with head and neck cancer getting cisplatin chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to catch hearing loss early so treatment can be adjusted.
This study looks at whether certain cancer drugs affect hearing, and whether some patients have less access to hearing care. You'll take online hearing and memory tests to help researchers understand this problem better.
This study looks at how common cancer treatments (certain chemotherapies and radiation to the head and neck) affect hearing in noisy places, thinking skills, and quality of life related to hearing. It aims to understand and possibly reduce these side effects.
