Our experience clearly indicates that the ABI is an effective tool for hearing rehabilitation in patients with profound hearing loss who cannot be fitted with cochlear implants.
The results suggest that RW implantation offers a viable and improved treatment option for patients with severe mixed hearing loss and congenital malformation of the outer and middle ear.
This study demonstrates that the ABI is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced surgical and rehabilitation team, and its benefits can be extended to a larger population of deaf patients.
