Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hearing function in patients with vestibular schwannoma is often classified according to the Gardner and Robertson (1988) or the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS, 1995) systems. These classification systems are based on English-language test procedures, there is no German-language equivalent. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of various target parameters on hearing classification and to derive a recommendation for the use of German-language test methods.Entities:
