Totally implantable active middle-ear implants: a large, single-surgeon cohort

CONCLUSION: This study showed excellent post-operative hearing results with active middle-ear implants with regard to pure tone average and word recognition score at a hearing level of 50 db. Complication rates in this case series were significantly lower with increasing experience of the surgeon. Active middle-ear implants should be considered in appropriate patients with moderate-to-severe sensorineural hearing loss who have struggled with conventional amplification and are good surgical candidates.PMID:33745469 | DOI:10.1017/S0022215121000335
