Abstract：With the advancement of microsurgical techniques,the objective of vestibular schwannoma treatment has evolved from prioritizing saving life to preserving neurological functions.After successful preservation of the facial nerve,hearing preservation has emerged as a new goal.Various treatment options are available to achieve this objective,with surgical treatment remaining the primary approach.Surgical approaches for hearing preservation include the retrosigmoid,middle cranial fossa and retrolabyrinthine approaches,each with its specific indications and advantages.These surgical approaches have seen significant modifications and improvement in recent years.This study compares hearing preservation outcomes in relation to these three surgical approaches based on the understanding of auditory changes in vestibular schwannoma and its treatment options.
