The Vibrant Soundbridge and Bonebridge are middle ear and bone-conducting hearing implants that transmit data using radio frequencies, minimizing skin issues but requiring more complex surgery.
The study aims to assess the reliability and complication rates of these devices, as well as their impact on quality of life and auditory performance after implantation.
This research is a multi-center longitudinal observational study, the first of its kind, incorporating various methodologies to evaluate patient outcomes over time.
