Marie,
I had no hearing problems until bc treatment. I did not have chemo, but started Herceptin with my radiation treatments last August. On Oct 1, I added Femara. By mid-November, I had terrible tinnitus. I tend to blame the tinnitus on the hormonal treatment, as I have done some research on it and hormones (estrogen) can affect hearing. I changed to Arimidex in Dec., and the tinnitus got somewhat better, but I still have it. I don't know if it is related to the combination of Herceptin with the AI or just the AI. I am looking forward to concluding my year of Herceptin to see if that will improve the condition any.
Best of luck to you and your husband,
Hopeful
