What Are the Management Options for Tinnitus in Cancer Patients?
Management of tinnitus in cancer patients involves addressing the underlying cause. If tinnitus is due to chemotherapy, dose adjustment or switching to a less ototoxic drug may be considered. For radiation-induced tinnitus, careful planning and protective measures during treatment can help minimize damage. Symptomatic treatments, such as hearing aids, sound therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), can also be beneficial.
