- Abstract
New technological developments will most probably improve the efficiency of auditory brainstem implantation (ABI). Meanwhile, cochlear implantation in patients who have undergone prior reductive surgery, and who have maintained a positive electric stimulation, is an excellent alternative for rehabilitating complete and bilateral hearing loss in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). Auditory results are far better than those reported after ABI. Long-term follow-up will be necessary to demonstrate the validity of this strategy.
