A hearing impairment is one of the most significant issues in such cases. Moreover, the presence of middle and inner ear pathologies combined may represent a surgical challenge. No studies have described a combined surgical approach for these coexisting conditions (VS and cholesteatoma), nor the hearing rehabilitation outcomes of using cochlear implants for these patients. (2) Case Report: This paper is on a female patient who underwent simultaneous surgical treatments for VS and middle ear cholesteatoma in the right ear followed by a cochlear implant, describing the technique and the audiological results. (3) Conclusions: The surgical approach was successful and enabled the resection of lesions with the auditory nerve and cochlea preservation. Cochlear implantation in the right ear showed positive postoperative results, with an improvement in the results with the CI in silent and noisy environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12227139","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]],"date-time":"2023-11-17T00:49:47Z","timestamp":1700182187000},"page":"7139","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Middle Ear Cholesteatoma and Vestibular Schwannoma Resection Followed by Cochlear Implant: Surgical Challenges and Audiological Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0016-9020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Carasek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Bras\u00edlia, Federal District, Brasilia 70910-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7210-5803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Danielle","family":"Cristov\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Bras\u00edlia, Federal District, Brasilia 70910-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucas Alves Teixeira","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Bras\u00edlia, Federal District, Brasilia 70910-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernanda Ferreira","family":"Caldas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brazilian Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, Federal District, Bras\u00edlia 70710-149, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando Massa","family":"Correia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brazilian Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, Federal District, Bras\u00edlia 70710-149, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thais Gomes Abrah\u00e3o","family":"Elias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brazilian Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, Federal District, Bras\u00edlia 70710-149, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rivad\u00e1vio","family":"Amorim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Bras\u00edlia, Federal District, Brasilia 70910-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fayez","family":"Bahmad Jr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Bras\u00edlia, Federal District, Brasilia 70910-900, Brazil"},{"name":"Brazilian Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, Federal District, Bras\u00edlia 70710-149, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"643","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1715606","article-title":"Cochlear Implantation in Vestibular Schwannoma: A Systematic Literature Review","volume":"82","author":"Tadokoro","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
