Study hearing side effects after targeted treatment for vestibular schwannoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how targeted brain/skull-base treatment for a vestibular schwannoma may affect hearing (ear “ototoxicity,” meaning damage to hearing). It may help doctors better predict and prevent hearing problems in people treated for this tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have a vestibular schwannoma on one side and were treated either with focused radiation (SRS) or being followed with MRI, per your care team
- You are willing to join the study and sign informed consent
- You have not had surgery or radiation (including prior SRS) for this tumor before
- You do not have neurofibromatosis type II
- Your baseline hearing is not already severely impaired (hearing test limits) and you have not had prior middle ear surgery on the affected ear

This trial tests if early rehabilitation using a head movement test can help people recover balance after surgery for an inner ear tumor called a vestibular schwannoma.
This study looks at how your balance might change after gamma-knife radiosurgery for a vestibular schwannoma. You will have follow-up balance tests to see if the treatment affects your balance over time.
This trial tests whether physical therapy focused on balance and dizziness before surgery or targeted radiation (SRS) can improve how people with vestibular schwannoma (an acoustic tumor) feel and function. It aims to help prepare your balance system before treatment begins.
This study uses a special hearing test done during surgery for vestibular schwannoma to help decide what hearing treatment you need afterward. It may help guide whether a cochlear implant is a good option for hearing rehabilitation.
This study looks at how balance and inner-ear (vestibular) function change after Gamma Knife radiosurgery for vestibular schwannoma. It may help doctors understand what to expect during recovery and how well these functions improve.
This trial tests a gene therapy injected into the ear to slow tumor growth and prevent further hearing loss in people with a vestibular schwannoma that is getting worse. It's for those who already have severe hearing loss in the affected ear.
