Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To test the agreement between PTA and OAE findings in identifying early and significant ototoxic hearing loss in pediatric cancer patients by comparing the results after every two cycles of cisplatin containing chemotherapy, at the end of the treatment and at six of completing treatment.  PTA and OAE will be assessed:
After every two cycles of cisplatin containing chemotherapy, at the end of the treatment and at six months of completing treatment. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the time to reach significant ototoxic hearing loss according to the adopted criteria for each assessment tool (i.e. PTA with grading and OAE) for each ear  It will be analyzed based on the findings of following timepoints. They are at baseline, after every two cycles of Cisplatin based chemotherapy, at the end of the chemotherapy and at six months of completion of chemotherapy.

Brief Summary  

Cisplatin is a medicine that is being administered as part several chemotherapy protocols for many types of cancer in pediatric patients and often causes a permanent hearing loss. This side effect is refered as ototoxicity and it may significantly affect the child’s communication, social and academic skills sometimes up to a disabling degree. In recent years, there has been considerable debate on adopting different test tools for timely identification hearing loss caused by cancer and its treatment that will facilitate effective management of ototoxic hearing loss.

Pure-tone Audiometry (PTA) is a routinely used test to identify overall hearing loss and Oto-acoustic Emission (OAE) is an objective test, usually done  to check the integrity of the inner ear. We can identify early and significant ototoxic hearing loss according to grades of hearing loss based on PTA findings.Though, PTA has been the gold standard test tool for ototoxicity assessment in pediatric patients, OAE has been proved to be more sensitive than PTA to identify subtle inner ear changes happening in ototoxic treatments. But,it is less often used in pediatric cancer patients due to lack of research evidence.

Hence, We propose to evaluate the effectiveness of OAE assessment in identifying the presence of early and significant ototoxic hearing loss in pediatric cancer patients receiving Cisplatin based chemotherapy by comparing with Pure-tone Audiometry (PTA) findings during the course chemotherapy.

 PTA and OAE findings will be obtained before, during and after the administration of Cisplatin based chemotherapy in eligible pediatric cancer patients according to the proposed inclusion/ exclusion criteria. These findings will be subjected to statistical analysis for agreement in order to check feasibility of OAE assessment in timely identification of severity of ototoxic hearing loss.

The potential outcome of the study may have following several clinical applications and usefulness

•Understand and characterize the ototoxic hearing loss and its course from audiological point of view

•Effective design of the audiological monitoring protocol

•Effective Use of OAE for very young children and  difficult-to-test population

•Assist in well-informed treatment decision and counseling.
