Chemo tinnitus to deafness?

Hi Caroline,

I had pink and blurry eyes on EC (FEC without the F) which is apparently common.  I also had Paclitaxel,  and they may have weakened my eyes as 3 months after starting letrozole I had a retinal  detachment, followed bt an ulcer in my other eye q few months later. 

I wasn't aware if tinnitis from chemo,  but I think I may have had it faintly and briefly just after stopping. I had covid last December and after active infection developed more obvious tinnitis (one of my long covid symptoms). In February I had my first Pfizer covid vaccine and thr tinnitis had been much worse from a couple of weeks after the  vaccine. I have  a permanent hiding and ticking in my head which gives me a headache sometimes.  Based on the  timing it seems like am auto immune response gone wrong,  and I wonder if that's thr case for you too? Could you try taking antihistamines tablets like loratadine (generic claratyn) add it's type 1 which are anti inflammatory? 

You need to talk to your oncologist about it af well and ask for further tests to be done though,  as tinnitis can be caused by a number of causes including vascular.  Good luck and fingers crossed it gets better s it's really annoying!
