What this Trial Is About
This research aims to study patients undergoing simultaneous translabyrinthine vestibular schwannoma removal and cochlear implantation. The main goal is to understand how intraoperative electrically evoked auditory brainstem response eABR readings relate to hearing outcomes after surgery. The study is observational, focusing on measuring and correlating these responses without altering the standard treatment. Patients have eABR tests before surgery, before tumor removal, and after tumor removal. After surgery, cochlear implants are fitted following routine procedures. The study groups eABR responses into three categoriesgood, weak, or no responseand compares these with postoperative speech understanding using the Freiburger monosyllables test. Participants are monitored for two years to assess the connection between eABR results and hearing with the cochlear implant. Hearing performance is evaluated through speech tests, and the study involves no experimental treatment changes. Researchers observe and record outcomes to better understand hearing rehabilitation after vestibular schwannoma surgery combined with cochlear implantation.
