Abstract
Objective
The interpretation of ABR results in patients with vestibular schwannoma is often unclear. We investigated the correlation between serviceable hearing in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) and factors including auditory brainstem response (ABR) at their initial presentation.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed initial magnetic resonance imaging findings, Gardner–Robertson (G&R) classification, ABR, and related data from 72 patients with VS who visited our institution between February 2017 and January 2023. Factors affecting hearing thresholds and nonserviceable hearing were examined.
Results
Univariate analysis revealed a significant association between nonserviceable hearing and Koos stage 4, ABR Ⅴ-wave negative, and tumor diameter ≥21.5 mm. In a multivariate analysis, ABR Ⅴ-wave negative was independently associated with nonserviceable hearing.
Conclusion
In the present single-center, retrospective sample population, inadequate Ⅴ-waves in the ABR were independently associated with nonserviceable hearing. The findings are useful in explaining serviceable hearing to patients with VS.
期刊介绍:
The international journal Auris Nasus Larynx provides the opportunity for rapid, carefully reviewed publications concerning the fundamental and clinical aspects of otorhinolaryngology and related fields. This includes otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, allergology, head and neck medicine and oncologic surgery, maxillofacial and plastic surgery, audiology, speech science.
Original papers, short communications and original case reports can be submitted. Reviews on recent developments are invited regularly and Letters to the Editor commenting on papers or any aspect of Auris Nasus Larynx are welcomed.
Founded in 1973 and previously published by the Society for Promotion of International Otorhinolaryngology, the journal is now the official English-language journal of the Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. The aim of its new international Editorial Board is to make Auris Nasus Larynx an international forum for high quality research and clinical sciences.
