Auditory Brainstem Implant in Neurofibromatosis Type 2 and Non-Neurofibromatosis Type 2 Patients

Abstract

A clear benefit of ABI could be evidenced in NF2 patients, especially in case of small tumor and short duration of hearing loss. Auditory brainstem implant may also be indicated in patients with bilateral profound hearing loss and a predictable failure of cochlear implantation.
