Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the usability of auto-captioning glasses for adults diagnosed with NF2-related schwannomatosis and loss of hearing. The primary objective of the study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of auto-captioning glasses in this population.
Participants will be asked to:
* Use the glasses at their discretion for 12 weeks
* Report their feedback at 3 and 12 week timepoints via online surveys and remote qualitative interviews

Detailed Description:
Patients with NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN) often experience progressive hearing loss. The nature of their hearing loss frequently hinders the use of surgical or drug interventions. Due to this, assistive hearing technology such as speech to text machines are commonplace in this population. New technology such as augmented reality (AR) auto-captioning glasses are gaining popularity among deafened and hard of hearing participants for their ability to overlay live captions onto see-through lenses. The goal of this study is to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of this technology in the NF2-SWN population.
The investigators aim to achieve this goal by recruiting up to 20 adult participants with a diagnosis of NF2-SWN and a history of hearing loss to a single-arm, open pilot study. The participants will be provided with a pair of Captify auto-captioning glasses to use over a period of 12 weeks. The investigators will assess participant's use of and feedback of the device at a 3-week timepoint and at study completion.
At baseline, the investigators will enroll participants and obtain informed consent to participate. Patient background information will be collected at baseline alongside a short qualitative interview. After three weeks, participants will complete select patient-reported questionnaires to assess their feedback. After 12 weeks, the participants will again perform final surveys and follow-up interview, and return the glasses to clinic.
