Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss is typically caused by dysfunction of the inner ear or auditory nerve. In pediatric patients diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss, work-up often includes genetic testing and imaging studies of the auditory pathway. Here, we report a case of a pediatric patient with a history of sensorineural hearing loss following cisplatin and radiation therapy for brainstem medulloblastoma, developing symptoms and signs of central hearing loss based on audiometric and MRI/diffusion tensor imaging studies. Though rare, central hearing loss should be considered among the causes of sensorineural hearing loss in children. Laryngoscope, 135:452-456, 2025.
