Summary

Radiosurgery did not affect cochlear implant function or hearing in a patient with a recurrent meningioma. This case study suggests radiosurgery may be safe for cochlear implant recipients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Cochlear implants treat severe hearing loss.
  • Radiosurgery is a potential future treatment for some cochlear implant patients.
  • The effects of radiosurgery on cochlear implants are largely unknown.

Observation:

  • A patient with a cochlear implant received radiosurgery for a recurrent meningioma.
  • Impedance of the cochlear implant remained within normal limits post-radiosurgery.
  • Auditory performance was unchanged after the radiosurgery procedure.

Findings:

  • This case report is the first to document the effects of radiosurgery on a cochlear implant.
  • Radiosurgery did not negatively impact the cochlear implant's electrical impedance.

Cochlear Implant Surgery and Electrically-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response Recordings in C57BL/6 Mice

Published on: January 9, 2019

  • Auditory function in the patient remained stable after radiosurgery.

    • Implications:

    • Radiosurgery may be a viable treatment option for cochlear implant recipients.
    • Further research is needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of radiosurgery in this patient population.
    • This finding could inform clinical decisions regarding radiosurgery for individuals with cochlear implants.
