Abstract

We present the 20-year case report of an auditory implant placed on the dorsal cochlear nucleus with long-term electrical stimulation in a patient with neurofibromatosis 2. The patient has continued to use her implant daily for 20 years, and it has greatly enhanced her quality of life. There have been no adverse sequelae.
