Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2011, Vol 65, Issue 3
Abstract
SUMMARY Akr The aim of this study is to present indications, surgical technique and first results of fully implantable middle ear implant (Otologics Carina), first time in Polish clinical practice. A/121-ari21 nfi małhrtrie• 24-years-old patient with bilateral moderate senso-rineural hearing loss. The surgery with fully implantable middle ear implant was performed on November 11th, 2008 (implant device Otologics Carina). Two months after the surgery the patient was admitted to hospital for the first fitting. Audiological tests were performed before the surgery and after on every fitting visit (4 fitting visits so far). Results. Postoperative bone and air conduction thresholds confirmed no cochlear damage due to the surgery. Free field pure tone and speech audio-metry proved better results in aided conditions compared to unaided. Further fitting sessions are planned in 6-8 weeks intervals in order to improve hearing thresholds along with anti-feedback adjustments. Our results confirm that fully implantable middle ear implant is a viable treatment for adult patients with moderate sensorineural hearing loss. In selected cases it may become an alternative to conventional hearing aids.
