Hearing problems due to Velcade?

by Lacerta on Thu Jan 21, 2016 10:18 am

Hi,

After the second round of my mother's treatment with low-dose Velcade (bortezomib), she started to get hearing problems at the right ear (ringing or buzzing in the ear). Female voices sound too crisp and create a kind of echo; male voices feel better.

Could it be a side effect of the treatment? Has anyone experienced similar?

Note: She was recently in a minor car accident – went off the road due to snow. No physical damage, but possible stressful situation.

Thanks, I should have checked by doing a search first.
