In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the long-term hearing prognosis of patients with cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors other than VSs, and clarify whether the phenomenon of hearing deterioration after surgery occurs only in patients with VSs.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Patient backgrounds and otologic data were investigated in 70 patients (meningioma: 37; trigeminal schwannoma: 9; facial nerve schwannoma: 4; jugular foramen schwannoma: 9; and epidermoid cysts: 11) with preserved useful hearing function after surgery (American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery classification Class A or B).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Of the 70 patients (average age: 44\u00a0years; tumor diameter: 35\u00a0mm; resection rate: 96%; follow-up period: 62 months; 61 patients in Class A and 9 patients in Class B immediately after surgery), 60 patients (86%) had unchanged, 5 patients (7%) had improved, and 5 patients (7%) had worsened hearing class during the follow-up period. Only 1 patient (facial nerve schwannoma) experienced a change from Class B to C, and was out of useful-hearing range at the final follow-up (the useful hearing preservation rate: 99%). Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) reflecting inner ear function were detected in 61 patients (87%) at the final follow-up, and only 4 patients (6%) demonstrated a worsening of DPOAEs during the postoperative follow-up period.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Useful hearing function after surgery was preserved at a high rate during a long-term postoperative period in patients with typical CPA tumors other than VSs. Compared with patients with VSs, in whom hearing loss owing to inner ear dysfunction is not rare in the long-term after surgery, patients with CPA tumors demonstrated a apparently lower incidence of inner ear dysfunction and a more favorable long-term hearing prognosis. In patients with CPA tumors, not only hearing improvement by the surgery but also its long-term preservation can be expected. In this study, we confirmed that the phenomenon of postoperative hearing deterioration occurs only in patients with VSs among all CPA tumors.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-025-06507-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,14]],"date-time":"2025-07-14T06:03:56Z","timestamp":1752473036000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Long-term prognosis of preserved hearing function after surgery in patients with cerebellopontine angle tumors other than vestibular schwannoma"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"167","author":[{"given":"Norio","family":"Ichimasu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michihiro","family":"Kohno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nobuyuki","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyosuke","family":"Matsunaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ken","family":"Matsushima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiyoaki","family":"Tsukahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"6507_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1059","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-010-0937-6","volume":"153","author":"M Amano","year":"2011","unstructured":"Amano M, Kohno M, Nagata O, Taniguchi M, Sora S, Sato H (2011) Intraoperative continuous monitoring of evoked facial nerve electromyograms in acoustic neuroma surgery.
