Abstract
The case of a 51-year-old woman with an acoustic neuroma in her only hearing ear is presented. At the time the tumor was removed, May 24, 1979, a depth electrode was implanted In the cochlear nucleus. This worked for 2 months, allowing her to perceive sound in her environment. On March 12, 1981, the depth electrode was replaced with a surface electrode. Since that time her hearing has been as good as that of a patient with a cochlear implant. It has now been over 2 years since her last surgery and she continues to do well.
