Application of the vibrant soundbridge® to unilateral osseous atresia cases

Patients with high‐grade atresia‐microtia suffer from a combined malformation of the outer and middle ears, typically leading to a severe hearing impairment. Long‐term results of middle ear reconstruction with tympanoplasty are often insufficient due to persistent air‐bone gaps, and new techniques in hearing rehabilitation are required. The objective of this research is to evaluate the active middle ear implant, the Vibrant Soundbridge® (VSB), for hearing rehabilitation of patients with unilateral osseous aural atresia.
