William F. House (1923-2012) was an ear, nose, and throat specialist with a particular focus in otology and an inventor, with perhaps his greatest invention being the single-channel cochlear implant. Although heavily criticized at the beginning of his career for developing the single-channel cochlear implant, many individuals would soon benefit from the device that House created.

Objective: Posterior external auditory canal (EAC) hypesthesia (Hitselberger's sign) has been previously described to occur in all vestibular schwannomas (1966) but has not been studied since. We hypothesized that sensory loss may be related to tumor size and sought to determine if this clinical sign could predict preoperative characteristics of vestibular schwannomas, intraoperative findings, and/or surgical outcomes.
Study Design: Prospective observational study.

Although most widely known as the birthplace of neuro-otology, the House Clinic in Los Angeles has been the site of several major contributions to the field of neurosurgery. From the beginning of the formation of the Otologic Medical Group in 1958 (later renamed the House Ear Clinic), these contributions have been largely due to the innovative and collaborative work of neurosurgeon William E. Hitselberger, MD, and neuro-otologist William F.

Auditory brainstem implants (ABIs) can provide highly beneficial hearing sensations to individuals deafened by bilateral vestibular schwannomas (neurofibromatosis type 2). Relatively little is known about the status of stimulated neurons after long-term ABI use. Direct examination of the cochlear nuclear complex (CN) of one 5-year ABI user indicated no deleterious effect.
