Auditory Outcomes in Patients Who Received Proton Radiotherapy for Craniopharyngioma.
Conclusion: At a median follow-up time of 2 years post-PRT, normal hearing was maintained within the CF range. However, subclinical decreases in hearing were observed, particularly in the EHF range and in the DPOAE level; thus, long-term follow-up is recommended to monitor for potential auditory late effects from PRT.
