Today we are looking at an exciting case study from MED-EL’s comprehensive surgical video library. An 11-year-old with unilateral conductive hearing loss receives a VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE with a Stapes-SH-Coupler.
The active, transcutaneous BONEBRIDGE BCI 602 implant offers clear advantages over percutaneous BAHA (bone-anchored hearing aid) implants. Time and again, BAHAs are explanted and replaced with BONEBRIDGE. Leading ENT surgeons have reached an international consensus and established guidelines for the explantation of a BAHA followed by implantation of BCI 602.
With endoscopic ear surgery, surgeons can get a wider field of view when implanting passive middle ear prostheses for ossicular reconstruction and stapes surgery. Learn what tips and tricks Prof. Dr. med. Lukas Anschütz has for using an endoscope while implanting tympanoplasty and stapes prostheses from MED-EL.
After receiving several hearing solutions that had no lasting success, a 13-year-old from Spain received bilateral active, transcutaneous BONEBRIDGE implants. In this case report, surgeons Dr. Estefanía Berrocal and Dr. Francisco Javier Aguilar explain the challenges associated with replacing an old implant and why the BONEBRIDGE implant is their "first choice for children."
People with Congenital Microtia-Atresia (CMA) have malformations of the pinna and the external auditory canal. Often the middle ear anatomy is also affected and shows abnormalities. The vast majority of children born with CMA have moderate to severe conductive hearing loss from the very beginning of their lives. We all know that this has an
