Since 1992 18 patients with bilateral retrocochlear deafness have been provided with a multichannel auditory brainstem implant (ABI). The surgical procedure implies tumour removal and ABI implantation in one stage. Most implantations were via the translabyrinthine approach. The long-term follow-up varied between nine and 80 months. In one case auditory perception could not be achieved and in a second case post-operative stimulation was not possible as the subject died due to lung emboli. In all the other cases auditory perception was achieved and only two subjects became non-users during the follow-up period. The presented long-term results suggest that deaf neurofibromatosis type 2 patients regain acoustic contact with the environment, enlarge their communication skills and improve their quality of life by using a multichannel auditory brainstem prosthesis.
自1992年以来，18例双侧蜗后性耳聋患者接受了多通道听觉脑干植入（ABI）。手术过程包括一期肿瘤切除和ABI植入。大多数植入是通过经迷路入路进行的。长期随访时间从9个月到80个月不等。1例未实现听觉感知，另1例术后无法进行刺激，因为该受试者因肺栓塞死亡。在所有其他病例中均实现了听觉感知，随访期间只有2例受试者不再使用。所呈现的长期结果表明，2型神经纤维瘤病耳聋患者通过使用多通道听觉脑干假体重新与环境建立听觉联系，扩大其沟通能力并改善其生活质量。
