Jake's Story | Devastating Effects of Cisplatin-Induced Hearing Loss

Описание: Cisplatin is a platinum-based therapy that is widely used and highly effective for testicular cancer. However, one of the side effects is ototoxicity, or hearing loss. Therapies like Cisplatin damage the sensory hair cells of the inner ear that communicate to the nervous system and auditory cortex of the brain. This has a profound impact on quality of life after treatment.

The Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation has partnered with Fennec Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company dedicated to work in the Neuro-ototoxicity space for patients with solid tumors who are treated with cisplatin to reduce the risk of hearing loss.

Preserving hearing isn’t just a medical goal—it’s a deeply human one. Hearing shapes how we connect, communicate, and experience the world. For those facing testicular cancer, hearing loss can lead to long-term effects on relationships, work, mental health, and overall well-being.

By minimizing this risk, Fennec is helping patients maintain their independence, dignity, and sense of normalcy during an incredibly challenging time. It’s a powerful reminder that survivorship is not just about quantity of life, but quality of life.
