Preserved Hearing Following Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery: Audiological Findings.
Bauch, Christopher D.; And Others
American Journal of Audiology, v4 n3 p59-66 Nov 1995
Audiologic test results were reviewed for 30 patients whose hearing was preserved following eighth nerve tumor surgery. Improved auditory brainstem response tracings were seen as probably indicating increased neural synchrony due to reduced pressure on the cochlear nerve following surgery, whereas reduced hearing sensitivity probably reflects cochlear damage coincident to the surgery.
