Survivors of childhood cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and/or cranial radiation are at risk of treatment-induced hearing loss; however, the effects of such hearing loss on adult social attainment have not been well elucidated. Adult survivors of pediatric central nervous system (CNS; n=180) and non-CNS solid tumors (n=226) treated with potentially ototoxic cancer therapy completed audiologic evaluations and questionnaires assessing perception of social functioning and social attainment (i.e. independent living, marriage, employment). Audiograms were graded with the Chang Ototoxicity Grading Scale. Analyses were stratified by tumor type (i.e. CNS vs. non-CNS). Multivariable logistic regression models were conducted with adjustment for age, sex, chronic health conditions, and for the CNS group, IQ. Adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported. Serious hearing loss (requiring a hearing aid or deafness) was detected in 36% of CNS and 39% of non-CNS tumor survivors. Serious hearing loss was associated with increased risk for perceived negative impact in one or more areas of social functioning (non-CNS: OR=1.83, 95% CI, 1.00-3.34). Among non-CNS tumor survivors, serious hearing loss was associated with 2-fold increased risk of non-independent living (OR=2.19, 95% CI, 1.19-4.04) and unemployment or not graduating from high school (OR=1.85, 95% CI, 1.00-3.34). A substantial proportion of adult survivors of childhood cancer treated with potentially ototoxic therapy have serious hearing loss. Treatment-induced hearing loss was associated with reduced social attainment, both perceived and actual, in this study sample.
