Bilateral electric stimulation from auditory brainstem implants in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 2.
BACKGROUND
Recent developments in the field of electronic hearing prostheses have allowed for the introduction of auditory brainstem implants in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2.


METHODS
Bilateral electric stimulation from 2 sequentially placed auditory brainstem implants was applied in a 27-year-old man with neurofibromatosis type 2.


CONCLUSIONS
Results of the present case support further application of bilateral electric stimulation from auditory brainstem implants for patients with neurofibromatosis type 2.
