Résumé
To investigate the surgical approach and the audiological outcome of a stapes head coupler in active middle ear implant surgery. Retrospective data analysis. Tertiary referral center with a large active middle ear implant program. Twelve patients with active middle ear implant surgery. Therapeutic surgical approach for hearing rehabilitation in human subjects. Auditory brainstem response, sound field thresholds, vibrogram, speech perception in the Freiburger monosyllabic word test. 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. The stapes head coupler is a new and safe tool for vibroplasty with a good audiological outcome.
