Abstract
Vestibular Schwannoma, a benign tumor that arises from Schwann cell sheath of the 8th cranial nerve, has represented about 8% of the total intracranial tumors and 80% of the total tumors in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumors.
The results from studies of loud noise exposure and Vestibular Schwannoma are conflicting, so this study was carried out to systematically review studies and to identify the relationship between noise exposure and vestibular schwannoma.
We followed the PRISMA statement guidelines during this systematic review and meta-analysis preparation and performed all steps according to the Cochrane handbook of systematic reviews of intervention. In order to establish the scope of this overview, we have formulated our overview in the following PICO format.
We searched Google Scholar, Egyptian Bank Knowledge (Web of science, Scopus), PubMed on 5 Jan 2022 and updated the search on 27 May 2022 using relevant keywords. We used the following search strategy for searching different databases: (noise OR sound) AND (risk factor (AND (vestibular schwannoma OR acoustic neuroma OR brain tumor).
Risk of bias was evaluated by the Cochrane handbook of systematic reviews of interventions 5.1.0.
All studies were moderate when quality was assessed by The Newcastle–Ottawa scale except for 2 studies were high and only one was low quality.
