Experience with the Vibrant Soundbridge RW-Coupler for round window Vibroplasty with tympanosclerosis
Abstract Usage of the Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) with round window (RW)-Coupler placement at the RW has been shown to successfully treat mixed hearing loss. Coupling between the VSB's floating mass transducer (FMT) and the RW membrane is difficult in the case of sclerosis in the RW and drilling down the bony lip until the RW membrane can be seen completely can possibly induce a perilymphatic f...
متن کاملTinnitus and quality of life after round window vibroplasty.
OBJECTIVE To measure the Quality of Life outcomes and impact on tinnitus perception in a group of patients after Round Window Vibroplasty (RW-VSB) for mixed or conductive hearing loss. STUDY DESIGN A single-subject, repeated measures design was employed. All VSB fittings were based on hearing thresholds results and were not set to mask tinnitus. METHODS Ten Round Window-Vibroplasty patients...

متن کاملVibroplasty in mixed and conductive hearing loss: comparison of different coupling methods.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate modified coupling techniques of the Vibrant Soundbridge system in patients with mixed and conductive hearing loss and to compare it with conventional vibroplasty. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS Two different groups were evaluated: 1) nine cases of conventional incus vibroplasty in comparison with 2) nine patients with modified coupling of the flo...
متن کاملA Case of the Vibrant Soundbridge Stapes Coupler in Patients with Mixed Hearing Loss
The Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) with stapes clip coupler placement at the stapes head has been used successfully to treat mixed hearing loss. Coupling between the floating mass transducer of the VSB and the stapes head is technically less demanding than incus vibroplasty and is more likely to generate a positive outcome without significantly changing residual hearing or resulting in medical or su...
