Prospective evaluation of the early effects of radiation on the auditory system frequencies of patients with head and neck cancers and brain tumors after radiotherapy

ENT Journal Mar 26, 2018

They noted that this effect occurred more in high-frequency hearing. The main cause of damage to hearing was the received dose to the cochlea.
