This study reviews the hearing results in 80 consecutive patients who underwent complete removal of histologically proven acoustic neuromas by use of the suboccipital approach. Of these, 56 patients had successful monitoring of cochlear compound action potentials; 20 were not monitored because their surgery predated monitoring; and 4 had unsuccessful monitoring. A significant difference was found in hearing preservation rates between the group in whom compound action potential monitoring was performed and those in whom monitoring was either unavailable or failed ( p = 0.02). Overall, 38% (30 of 80) had preserved hearing. There were 51 patients in whom the click threshold for the cochlear compound action potential was measured during surgery. Twenty-one patients had a threshold shift of 20 dB or less, 15 (71%) of these retained serviceable hearing (speech reception threshold ≤50 dB; speech discrimination score ≥60%). Of 12 patients in whom the threshold shift was 30 to 60 dB, none had serviceable hearing after surgery. The click threshold shift was predictive of a significant postoperative hearing change ( p < 0.001).

Afferent stimulation of one thoracic cardiopulmonary nerve generated compound action potentials in the efferent axons of other ipsilateral cardiopulmonary nerves in dogs, 14 days after their thoracic autonomic ganglia had been decentralized. The compound action potentials were influenced by the frequency of activation and (in 5 of 12 dogs) by pharmacological autonomic blocking agents (hexamethonium, atropine, phentolamine, and propranolol). Moreover, they were abolished transiently when chymotrypsin was injected locally into the ganglia, and extendedly when manganese was injected. Thus, synapses that can be activated by stimulation of afferent nerves exist in chronically decentralized thoracic autonomic nerves and ganglia. It is proposed that regulation of the heart and lungs occurs in part via thoracic autonomic neural elements independent of the central nervous system.
