The VSB is a new middle ear implant device that can be used safely in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss.

Malleostapedotomy yields better functional hearing results than incus stapedotomy in revision surgery for otosclerosis. The detection of many malleus fixations was the result of the systematic exposure of the anterior malleal process and ligament through an endaural approach with superior canaloplasty.

High-resolution CT scans are a valid tool that can be used to confirm, localize, and determine the size of clinically suspected otosclerotic foci.
