While some degree of hearing loss may be unavoidable due to the ototoxic nature of certain treatments, preventive measures can be taken. These include:
- Dose Adjustment: Reducing the dosage of ototoxic drugs like Carboplatin and Cisplatin. - Alternative Therapies: Using less ototoxic alternatives if available. - Protective Agents: Investigational use of otoprotective agents like amifostine.
