Abstract
Hearing preservation is exceedingly difficult in vestibular schwannoma surgery, especially with increasing tumor size. We herein report a case of hearing preservation in a 2.7 cm vestibular schwannoma, where the patient maintained her pre-operative hearing threshold of 55 dB till a year after surgery. Hence, it appears that an attempt at hearing preservation is worth pursuing.
