Abstract EN
Cochlear implants are a new surgical option in the hearing rehabilitation of patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) in the only hearing ear.
Auditory brainstem implant (ABI) has been the standard surgical treatment for these patients.
We performed a literature review of patients with NF2 and patients with VS in the only hearing ear.
Cochlear implantation (CI) provided some auditory benefit in all patients.
Preservation of cochlear nerve integrity is crucial after VS resection.
Results ranged from environmental sound awareness to excellent benefit with telephone use.
Promontory stimulation is recommended although not crucial.
MRI can be performed safely in cochlear implanted patients.
