The use of bevacizumab probably improves the likelihood of hearing preservation in growing tumours in the short term and is probably more effective than hearing preservation surgery and radiotherapy in preserving hearing. Of the hearing preservation interventions, hearing preservation surgery probably offers better hearing preservation rates than radiotherapy for small tumours but recurrence rates for hearing preservation surgery were high. For patients with profound hearing loss, cochlear implantation provides significantly better auditory outcomes than auditory brainstem implantation. Patients with untreated stable tumours are likely to achieve the best outcomes from cochlear implantation. Those who have had their tumours treated with surgery or radiotherapy do not gain as much benefit from cochlear implantation than those with untreated tumours.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review summarises the current literature related to hearing preservation\/rehabilitation in patients with <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">NF<\/jats:styled-content>2.
