Hearing protection for children receiving cisplatin Cisplatin can permanently damage a child's hearing. For many children whose cancer has not spread, a drug called sodium thiosulfate, given as a short drip six hours after each dose of cisplatin, roughly halves the chance of hearing loss. Hearing is tested during treatment and for years after, and any loss is referred to a hearing specialist. | Childhood cancers, Hepatoblastoma, Medulloblastoma | none | protocol, paediatric |
