Abstract

Patients suffering from moderate to severe cochlear hearing impairment can not be considered for cochlear implantation on account of their relatively good residual hearing. Conventional hearing aids, on the other hand, have considerable disadvantages which clearly limit the benefit for these patients, e.g. feedback, sound distortion, unfavorable conditions for frequency transfer, occlusion, and recurrent infections of the auditory canal. In addition, many patients complain about a poor speech intelligibility in noise. VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE HEARING PROSTHESIS: Implantable hearing aids offer a new approach for improved auditory rehabilitation. The Vibrant Soundbridge system is based on an electromagnetic system, which is linked directly to the intact ossicular chain. Due to the high sound quality and the high frequency characteristic this system is ideally suited for the above-mentioned patient group. The usual disadvantages of conventional hearing aids can be avoided. Externally visible is merely the audio processor, which is worn in the retroauricular area and covered by hair. This processor transfers data and power via magnetic attachment transcutaneously. PATIENT POOL: During a European multicenter clinical study, 19 patients w...Continue Reading
