title: Bilateral electric stimulation from auditory brainstem implants in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 2.
abstract: 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.
