Abstract: We report a case of hearing preservation after removal of the semicircular canals and discuss the possible explanations for the mechanisms of preservation of hearing after removal of the labyrinth. We hope to promote the perspectives and possibilities of functional surgery of the inner ear and for tumors of the cerebellopontine angle.
