A decade later – assessing hearing preservation in vestibular schwannoma patients post middle cranial fossa surgery

Key Points

• This research evaluates the long-term hearing outcomes of patients who underwent middle cranial fossa surgery for vestibular schwannoma.
• Conducted a long-term follow-up over 10 years post-surgery.
• Assessed hearing function in patients with initially preserved hearing.
• Evaluated the presence of additional hearing loss at follow-up.
• Patients maintained hearing function more than 10 years post-surgery.
• Additional hearing loss was observed as bilateral and symmetrical.
