Abstract
Patients with otosclerosis can suffer from different grades of combined hearing loss. In addition to surgery (stapedectomy), conventional hearing aids can be used in the treatment of otosclerosis. In cases of severe conductive components in addition to sensorineural hearing loss, treatment with normal hearing aids can be difficult or impossible. In these patients, implantable hearing systems such as cochlear implants represent a possible alternative. The totally implantable Carina middle ear system can be used in patients with even high-grade sensorineural hearing loss. Based on two exemplary cases, the option of using the Carina system in otosclerosis patients and post-implantation results are reported.
