Active middle ear implants (AMEI) amplify mechanical vibrations in the middle ear and transmit them to the cochlea. The AMEI includes a floating mass transducer (FMT) that can be placed using two different surgical approaches: "oval window (OW) vibroplasty" and "round window (RW) vibroplasty." The OW and RW are windows located on the cochlea.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of cochlear implantation (CI) in case of far advanced otosclerosis and to evaluate the value of using intraoperative otoendoscopy to facilitate the identification of the round window membrane and the scala tympani without the need to remove the posterior canal wall or to perform a subtotal petrosectomy.
Study Design: Retrospective case-series study.
Setting: Tertiary academic CI center.
