Fish Farts
Both of my chemo regimens involved the platinum drugs, like carboplatin and cisplatin. One of the many side effects of this class of toxic drugs can be ringing in the ear, or tinnitis. I have developed this weird tinnitis, like a clicking sound. When I reported this to my oncologist, he smiled slightly, shook his head and said "I don't know about that". I have struggled to describe this sound. Today I found a video that has the exact sound. My tinnitis sounds like fish farts. Seriously, I hear fish farts.
