Change in tinnitus after acoustic neuroma removal using a translabyrinthine approach. A Prospective study.

CONCLUSIONS: We did not find any significant association between tinnitus and age, gender, tumour size and postoperative facial function. Translabyrinthine surgical removal of VS in these patients led to better THI results, with the younger patients having better outcomes. The patients with poorest preoperative audition were the ones that had the best results in the postoperative THI questionnaire. PMID: 27067182 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
