Hearing aid vs no hearing aid during platinum chemotherapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares how patients’ quality of life changes when people who have hearing loss from platinum chemotherapy use a hearing aid versus not using one. It may help understand whether hearing aids improve daily life during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult (not a child)
- You are currently receiving platinum-based chemotherapy and have hearing loss that started or worsened with this treatment
- A hearing test confirmed your hearing loss (not just ringing)
- You can attend study visits and follow all study steps
- You can wear a hearing aid and you are not already using one

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at hearing problems caused by cancer treatments that can damage the ears or nervous system. It aims to better understand and diagnose these side effects to help patients.
This study looks at how cisplatin chemotherapy affects hearing and balance in people with head and neck cancer. It compares patients who get cisplatin with those who only get radiation, to understand and possibly reduce these side effects.
This study looks at why some people who survived cancer as children or young adults develop hearing loss. It will check their hearing and review their past cancer treatments to find risk factors, so that future patients can be monitored more closely.
This trial tests if taking N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can help prevent hearing loss caused by high-dose cisplatin chemotherapy. If you're getting cisplatin and are between 18 and 70, you may be able to join.
