The benefit of the reverse transfer function in the fitting process of the Vibrant Soundbridge middle ear implant

Abstract

Ten patients fitted the criteria. RTF measurements revealed a significant inter-patient disparity. We adjusted the Connexx value according to the RTF value to obtain an optimal VSB gain within comfort levels. The VSB gain and RTF with Connexx value were closely correlated together. The mean VSB gain and RTF value converted to dB HL had comparable values.
