Hearing Loss from Cancer Chemotherapy in Northwest England
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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 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.
This study looks at how chemotherapy may affect memory and thinking, using thinking tests and possibly brain imaging. It compares older breast cancer patients who do and do not get chemotherapy, plus a group of healthy older adults.
This study looks at how thinking and memory may change in children and young adults after a new cancer diagnosis, especially around chemotherapy. It may help doctors better understand and track brain-related side effects early.
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 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.
