Post-operative outcomes for hearing after resection surgery to remove cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors other than vestibular schwannomas (VS) are not well understood. This study presents a series of patients with significant postoperative hearing recovery, trying to define the incidence among all patients operated on for removal of non-VS CPA tumors. Methods: This is a retrospective observational case series of 8 patients among 69 operated on for removal of non-VS CPA tumors between 2012 and 2020. All patients had pre-and post-operative hearing measurement with pure-tone average (PTA) and speech discrimination score (SDS), according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery recommendations, auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurements and imaging. Results: Six meningiomas and two lower cranial nerve schwannomas operated on with a retrosigmoid approach were included for analysis. The mean pre-operative PTA and SDS were 58±20.7 dB and 13±17.5%, respectively. All patients had pre-operative class D hearing and asynchronous ABRs. They all showed significant hearing recovery, with an improvement of 36±22.2 dB (p=0.0025) and 85±16.9% (p=0.0001) in PTA and SDS, respectively, with mean follow-up of 21±23.5 months. Seven patients recovered to a class A hearing level and one patient to class B. The ABRs became synchronous for three patients. The incidence of auditory recovery was 13% for patients operated on with a conservative approach (n=60). Conclusion: A significant post-operative improvement in hearing could be a reasonable expectation in non-VS tumors extending into the CPA and a retrosigmoid approach should always be considered regardless of pre-operative hearing status.
