“…At the same time, 73 % of the VSB patients reported a reduction of their depression which was evaluated by means of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and a reduced stress perception was shown in 55 % of the patients by the Brief Encounter Psychosocial Instrument (BEPSI). A Korean research team revealed a significant reduction of the tinnitus perception by means of the THI in 16 patients treated with VSB [119]. Marino et al also analyzed the impact of VSB on existing tinnitus in 10 treated patients [120].…”

ZusammenfassungDie Versorgung mit implantierbaren Hörgeräten stellt einen Bereich mit hohem Entwicklungs- und Innovationspotenzial dar. Der vorliegende Übersichtsartikel gibt einerseits einen Überblick über derzeitige Indikationskriterien für die Versorgung mit aktiven Mittelohrimplantaten. Andererseits werden Zielparameter sowie Ergebnisse nach der Versorgung mit aktiven Mittelohrimplantaten beleuchtet. Hierbei liegt der Fokus auf audiologischen Ergebnissen sowie dem vom Patienten bewerteten Gesundheitszustand. Sogenannte „Patient Reported Outcome Measures“ (PROMs) nehmen mittlerweile auch in der Hörimplantatversorgung einen festen Stellenwert in der Evaluierung des Versorgungserfolges ein. Bisher ist die Studienlage sowohl hinsichtlich audiologischer als auch subjektiver Erfolgsparameter gemessen an den Evidenz-Level-Kriterien nicht befriedigend. Ein bislang fehlender internationaler Konsens über akzeptierte Outcomeparameter erschwert eine metaanalytische Aufarbeitung der Ergebnisse immens. In den bislang publizierten Untersuchungen konnte sowohl für Patienten mit einer Schallempfindungsschwerhörigkeit als auch für Patienten mit einer Schallleitungs- oder kombinierten Schwerhörigkeit ein besseres Sprachverstehen mit dem aktiven Mittelohrimplantat im Vergleich zur konventionellen Hörsystemversorgung ermittelt werden. Aktuelle Analysen zeigen eine signifikante Verbesserung der allgemeinen sowie der hörspezifischen Lebensqualität nach Versorgung mit einem aktiven Mittelohrimplantat. Zur Beurteilung des Versorgungserfolges bei Kindern existieren bislang keine validierten, hörspezifischen Lebensqualitätsmessinstrumente. Insbesondere bei Kindern mit komplexen Fehlbildungen des äußeren Ohres sowie des Mittelohres zeigen sich audiologisch zufriedenstellende Ergebnisse, welche zukünftig jedoch durch Lebensqualitätsmessungen untermauert werden müssen.

“…After this, there is a gradual recovery of balance function and this might take several days. However, further attacks may occur during this period, and this may prolong the recovery process [22]. Fluid builds up inside a part of inner ear called the labyrinth, which holds structures that help with hearing and balance.…”

Tinnitus is a hearing disorder that causes ringing, buzzing or hissing sensation to the patient’s auditory senses. It has become a very common complaint over the years affecting around 7-8% of the human population all over the world. The disorder causes the patients to feel irritable, annoyed, depressed, and distressed. As a result, it obstructs their sense of relaxation, enjoyment, and even their sleep - thus forcing them to avoid any social gatherings. There has been a substantial amount of work that has been carried out pertinent to this disorder. This paper reviews existing research and work done regarding Tinnitus effects, causes, and diagnosis. The numerous ways in which Tinnitus could affect an individual have been depicted. From the plethora of probable causes of this disorder, the most conceivable ones are highlighted. Moreover, this paper documents and reviews the attempts at treating Tinnitus, relevant engineering breakthroughs, and the various ways in which Tinnitus noise is suppressed – such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, Neuromodulation, and Signal processing approach. The manuscripts highlight the pros and cons of these methods. Over 45 research articles and other reliable internet medical sources were reviewed and these pieces of work were contrasted. These findings should help in understanding both – the disorder, as well as the situation of the patients suffering from it. Through this manuscript, an attempt was made to spread awareness about the mysterious disorder.

“…Particularly beneficial in comparison to HAs is the possibility to provide large high-frequency gain [Lee et al, 2017] without need for ear canal occlusion and without feedback problems. Furthermore, a significant tinnitus reduction with VSB usage has been reported [Lee et al, 2020].…”

Introduction: The amount of listening effort needed to understand speech in every-day life is an important outcome measure of the effectiveness of a hearing device. The main goal of this study was to assess subjective listening effort in patients implanted with an active middle ear implant Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) with and without using their speech processor in complex acoustic scenarios. Methods: Ten VSB users were measured using the adaptive categorical listening effort scaling (ACALES) method in four different acoustic scenarios, realized using a multichannel loudspeaker array. The four acoustic scenarios included both spatially simple and complex speech and noise arrangements that realistically simulated challenging every-day listening situations. Signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) were adaptively varied during the measurement. Twelve normal-hearing (NH) listeners performed the same experiment as a control group. Results: Listening effort was significantly reduced in all tested acoustic scenarios when participants used their VSB. When using the VSB, SNRs corresponding to mild-to-moderate listening effort were found not to be statistically different from SNRs found in the NH control group. SNRs corresponding to extreme listening effort of VSB users approached NH values, indicating partial restoration of listening effort. Discussion and Conclusions: Usage of the middle ear implant VSB was found to restore subjective listening effort to normal at high SNRs completely, and at lower SNRs partially. The remaining gap at low SNRs may be due to lower effectiveness of signal processing at high noise levels or due to the microphone location effect.
