Hi
I'm just coming up for 1 year post op. I had cancer in my tonsil bed and had neck dissection followed by tors robotic surgery. I was lucky enough not to need chemo or radiotherapy .
After my neck dissection I suffered some ear pain for about 4 weeks. I have had some speech issues but my voice sounded different to me and I talked like I was deaf.
I have just been diagnosed with hearing loss in my right ear and a problem in left ear, obviously not connected to surgery. I was fitted with my hearing aids this week and what a difference. Has anyone else suffered with hearing loss?
Yes me. High end in ear on treatment side. Looking at the map of my treatment disease I can see why. Also tinnitus which I always had but has ramped up after RT.
Hearing aids help both.
