title: Normal hearing in patients with acoustic neuroma.
abstract: We reviewed the cases of 614 patients who had operation for acoustic neuroma. In 38 cases, hearing was either normal or decreased symmetrically. Almost all patients had unilateral otologic complaints. All patients with unilateral otologic complaints should be evaluated for acoustic neuroma even if results of routine audiometry are unremarkable.
