“… Santa Maria et al (2013) analyzed a fairly small patient sample and also found no differences in patient satisfaction between the hybrid and nonhybrid patients. The IOI-HA scores of our patients were nearly identical to those reported by Redfors et al (2013) for patients suffering from otosclerosis who received HAs. These authors also claimed that the patients with mixed hearing loss scored better than did the patients with only sensorineural hearing loss using a HA.…”

Objectives:To measure patient satisfaction and correlate to hearing results in partially deaf patients, after hearing preservation cochlear implant surgery with hybrid hearing strategy, and to evaluate the stability of residual low-frequency hearing (LFH) over time.Design:A patient satisfaction survey and a retrospective, 2-year follow-up journal study. Nineteen partially deaf patients intended for hybrid hearing responded to a questionnaire when they had used their cochlear implants for at least a year. The questionnaire consisted of the International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids, EuroQol Group visual analogue scale and nine questions about hybrid hearing. Pure-tone audiometry, monosyllables, and hearing in noise test results from the patients’ medical records were evaluated and compared with the results from the patient satisfaction survey.Results:All of the patients were satisfied with their CIs. The mean International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids score was 29. The CIs provided a major contribution to the speech comprehension of these partially deaf patients. Two years after surgery, the patients’ mean binaural score on tests of monosyllables was 58%, and the mean signal to noise ratio was 4.6 dB. We observed ongoing deteriorations in the residual hearing of the operated ears that surpassed the deteriorations observed in the contralateral ears. One month after surgery, the LFH loss (125–500 Hz) was 17 dB, and after 2 years, this loss was 24 dB compared with 5 dB in the nonoperated ear. There were no significant correlations between preserved LFH and patient satisfaction or speech perception results.Conclusions:Electric stimulation provided a major contribution to speech comprehension of partially deaf patients. The gain reached in speech understanding widely exceeded the downside in losing some residual hearing. All the patients showed a high degree of satisfaction with their CIs regardless of varying hearing preservation.

“…Approximately half the cohort had a corrected hearing loss with hearing aids, (approximately half the corrected subjects had bilateral HA acquisition and half unilateral HA acquisition). Furthermore, the probability of a hearing aid increased with increased hearing loss (Redfors et al, 2013). Our use of a shortened version of the SSQ could have affected the result in the spatial and quality domain, but since the original questionnaire is based on calculations of means, it was estimated that the result would not be affected signifi cantly.…”

“…This accentuates the importance of both oral and written preoperative information, which should include all the possible risks for complications, such as sound distortion and “blocked” ear. The preoperative information seems to be one of the most important quality indicators for surgical treatment [12, 13]. In compliance with these results, a national-based preoperative patient information program has been designed, which now is available online.…”

The aim of the National Quality Registries is to monitor the outcome of healthcare given to patients. The Swedish Quality register for otosclerosis surgery is one of the nine official national registers for ear, nose and throat diseases in Sweden. Since 2004, surgical and audiological results and patient satisfaction scores have been systematically collected from a majority of the ear, nose and throat clinics performing stapes surgery in Sweden. The results of 1688 patients who underwent primary operations for otosclerosis were evaluated for 24 out of totally 26 clinics performing stapes surgery, between 2004 and 2010. The most common surgical technique reported was stapedotomy accomplished in an overnight stay. A majority of patients experienced improved hearing, and were satisfied with the preoperative counselling. Successful surgery, defined as an ABG closure ≤10 dB HL, was achieved in 69%, improvement in AC by ≥20 dB in 63% and BC not worsened by more than ≥5 dB in 93% of the patients. An overall low incidence of postoperative complications was reported. The outcome for ABG and BC was demonstrated to be independent of the number of operations performed by each clinic. An evaluation of the register and the results from the SQOS revealed that stapes surgery is a safe procedure with good hearing outcomes, low complication rates and a high rate of patient’s satisfaction on a national level.
