title: Progression of hearing loss following the completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy: case report.
abstract: There have been scattered accounts reported in the oncology literature of progressive hearing loss following the conclusion of chemotherapy. In this case study, we report the audiologic findings of such a case. These data underscore the need for post-therapy monitoring in cases where threshold shifts are discovered during the course of drug administration.
