Using eABR to improve hearing outcomes after vestibular schwannoma surgery

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 observational study involves patients undergoing simultaneous translabyrinthine vestibular schwannoma resection and cochlear implantation. It aims to correlate intraoperative eABR results with postoperative hearing outcomes. Patients will have eABR measurements taken before and after tumor resection, and their hearing performance with cochlear implants will be assessed using the Freiburger monosyllables test. The study seeks to categorize eABR responses into three groups to understand their relationship with hearing rehabilitation success.
