Abstract
|
|
|
|
The Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) middle ear implant is an alternative rehabilitation option for sensorineural, conductive, and mixed hearing loss. The mechanism of VSB implantation is direct-drive stimulation of the inner ear through a floating mass transducer placed on the ossicular chain. We report our experience of VSB incus vibroplasty, which were successfully performed in two cases without complications and resulted in good functional gain and improve-ment of speech discrimination.
