Cochlear implantation after gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study involves patients who have received gamma knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma and are experiencing hearing loss. Participants will undergo extensive audiometric testing and preoperative and intraoperative electrically evoked auditory brainstem response (eABR) measurements. The study aims to correlate these eABR results with postoperative hearing outcomes following cochlear implantation. The findings will help assess the feasibility and effectiveness of cochlear implants in this patient population.
