Testing included pure tone and speech audiometry, middle ear function, neurodiagnostic auditory brainstem response (ABR), auditory processing, and MRIs of the head and neck region. Patients referred to this study had an overall higher incidence and burden of PNs than the overall NF1 population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority of subjects in this cohort had normal hearing sensitivity (81%) and normal middle ear function (78%). Nineteen participants had hearing loss that ranged in degree from mild to profound, with the majority in the mild range. Hearing loss was twice as likely to be conductive than sensorineural. In patients with ear\u2010related PNs (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a012), hearing loss was predominantly conductive (60%). Seventy\u2010five percent of ears with PNs had atypical tympanometric tracings that could not be characterized by the classic categories. In all 20 patients with a PN in the temporal bone, the ear canal was affected, and the PNs often extended to the surrounding soft tissue regions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>People with NF1\u2010related PNs in the temporal bone and adjacent skull base should have audiometric and otologic monitoring. Addressing hearing concerns should be part of routine clinical evaluations in patients with NF1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed in patients with NF1 who have hearing loss.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>3
