Inner Ear Schwannomas as a Risk Factor for Early Hearing Loss Independent of Vestibular Schwannoma Growth in NF2-related Schwannomatosis
IES is associated with earlier hearing loss, particularly with respect to loss of serviceable hearing. These findings suggest that patients with both a VS and an IES may experience hearing decline at younger ages and at smaller VS sizes than those with VS alone. This information may inform clinical decision-making and guide timing of interventions in NF2-SWN.
