Middle Ear Active Implant Indications, Comparative Audiometric Results from Different Approaches, and Coupling with the Vibrant Soundbridge®: A Single Center Experience over More Than 20 Years
The VSB is effective in improving hearing in patients with mixed, conductive, and sensorineural hearing loss, with significant gains at high frequencies, especially through the round window membrane approach. The choice of surgical technique should consider the patient's anatomical characteristics and specific needs in order to optimize auditory outcomes and minimize postoperative complications.
