Advantages of binaural hearing provided through bimodal stimulation via a cochlear implant and a conventional hearing aid: a 6-month comparative stud…
2005
Our study data demonstrate the additional benefit derived from continued use of a contralateral hearing aid (HA) post-cochlear implantation for speech recognition ability in quiet and in noise. Postoperative bimodal stimulation is recommended for all subjects who show some speech recognition ability in the contralateral ear as it may offer binaural listening advantages in various listening situations encountered in everyday life.To assess the benefits derived from bimodal stimulation for experienced HA users implanted with a cochlear implant (CI) (score=20% in disyllabic test). The correlation between pre- and postoperative performance on speech perception measures was examined to determine…
Prótesis auditiva osteointegrada “BAHA” : evaluación de los resultados con diferentes técnicas de colgajo
2012
INTRODUCCION La primera prótesis BAHA se coloca en 1.977, con idea de conseguir una mejora auditiva, aprovechando la transmisión ósea directa. La inseguridad inicial motivada por los posibles fallos en los resultados tanto de integración ósea como funcionales se fueron venciendo con el paso del tiempo a la vez que fueron disminuyendo las complicaciones quirúrgicas observadas. La integración ósea de un material inerte como el titanio, supuso muchos estudios histológicos, de biocompatibilidad, de parámetros como duración o tiempo necesario para una buena integración, o de espesor y calidad de hueso imprescindible. Tras obtener progresivamente mejores resultados funcionales, aumentó el grado d…
Minimal Reporting Standards for Active Middle Ear Hearing Implants.
2017
There is currently no standardized method for reporting audiological, surgical and subjective outcome measures in clinical trials with active middle ear implants (AMEIs). It is often difficult to compare studies due to data incompatibility and to perform meta-analyses across different centres is almost impossible. A committee of ENT and audiological experts from Germany, Austria and Switzerland decided to address this issue by developing new minimal standards for reporting the outcomes of AMEI clinical trials. The consensus presented here aims to provide a recommendation to enable better inter-study comparability.
