Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
1

Total Ossicular Replacement Prostheses:

The primary objective for the total ossicular replacement prostheses was to achieve an ABG ≤ 20 dB by at least 25 % of the patients after the PMEI implantation

To evaluate audiological outcomes post-operatively, the air-bone gap (ABG) was assessed.

To evaluate safety of the devices, adverse events were collected.A post-operative minimum and maximum follow-up period was not defined. The mean of the post-operative follow-up period of all patients was calculated. To assess whether implantation of PMEI affected residual hearing pre- and post-operative bone conduction thresholds were evaluated.

2

Partial Ossicular Replacement Prostheses:

The primary objective for the partial ossicular replacement prostheses was to achieve an ABG ≤ 20 dB by at least 53.8 % of the patients after the PMEI implantation.

To evaluate audiological outcomes post-operatively, the air-bone gap (ABG) was assessed.

To evaluate safety of the devices, adverse events were collected.A post-operative minimum and maximum follow-up period was not defined. The mean of the post-operative follow-up period of all patients was calculated. To assess whether implantation of PMEI affected residual hearing pre- and post-operative bone conduction thresholds were evaluated.

3

Stapesplasty Prostheses:

The primary objective for the stapes prostheses was to achieve an ABG ≤ 20 dB by at least 86 % of the patients after the PMEI implantation.

To evaluate audiological outcomes post-operatively, the air-bone gap (ABG) was assessed.

To evaluate safety of the devices, adverse events were collected.A post-operative minimum and maximum follow-up period was not defined. The mean of the post-operative follow-up period of all patients was calculated. To assess whether implantation of PMEI affected residual hearing pre- and post-operative bone conduction thresholds were evaluated.
