Abstract
Because of extensive interconnections within the auditory pathways, hearing impairment from a central origin is rare. We describe a patient with a large pineal region meningioma in whom hearing loss was the predominant symptom. The patient promptly recovered hearing after the surgical removal of the tumor. The mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed.
