ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the surgical approach and the audiological outcome of a stapes head coupler in active middle ear implant surgery. STUDYDESIGN:
Retrospective data analysis.SETTING:
Tertiary referral center with a large active middle ear implant program. PATIENTS Twelve patients with active middle ear implant surgery.INTERVENTIONS:
Therapeutic surgical approach for hearing rehabilitation in human subjects. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Auditory brainstem response, sound field thresholds, vibrogram, speech perception in the Freiburger monosyllabic word test.RESULTS:
The stapes head was attached safely in different coupling situations. Audiological outcomes were similar to the audiological performance of established vibroplasty couplers presented in the literature.CONCLUSION:
The stapes head coupler is a new and safe tool for vibroplasty with a good audiological outcome.
