Intraoperative recording of auditory brainstem responses for monitoring of floating mass transducer coupling efficacy during revision surgery: proof of concept
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to measure auditory brainstem responses elicited by stimulation via a semi-implantable active middle ear implant with an electromagnetically driven floating mass transducer to quantify the coupling efficacy (=vibroplasty in situ thresholds-bone conduction th...

| Zusammenfassung: | OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to measure auditory brainstem responses elicited by stimulation via a semi-implantable active middle ear implant with an electromagnetically driven floating mass transducer to quantify the coupling efficacy (=vibroplasty in situ thresholds-bone conduction thresholds) in a patient during a revision surgery. - PATIENTS: One patient, reimplanted with an active middle ear implant in a revision surgery. - INTERVENTION(S): Diagnostic. - MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Intraoperative auditory brainstem responses evoked by stimulation via an active middle ear implant in a calibrated set-up directly indicating the coupling efficacy magnitude (auditory brainstem response threshold=coupling efficacy), as well as pre- and postoperative bone conduction and vibroplasty in situ thresholds. - RESULTS: The intraoperative auditory brainstem response threshold was detected at 0dB nHL, i.e., the magnitude of coupling efficacy was determined intraoperatively to be 0dB. The actual postoperative coupling efficacy (=postoperative vibroplasty in situ-postoperative bone conduction thresholds) was -2.5dB. - CONCLUSIONS: The coupling efficacy determined intraoperatively was consistent with the postoperative coupling efficacy. The described method seems to be a promising tool to objectively quantify the magnitude of coupling efficacy in active middle ear implant surgeries. |
