First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether hearing aids can improve quality of life in cancer patients who develop hearing loss from platinum-based chemotherapy. Fifty-two adults currently on such chemotherapy and with confirmed hearing loss will be randomly assigned to receive a hearing aid or standard care. Their quality of life, hearing, and tinnitus will be measured over six months.
