Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) has been recommended for both adults and children with all types of hearing loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the objective and subjective benefits with VSB and the difference in benefits for patients with different types of hearing loss. A retrospective case review was conducted on seven consecutive patients who had received VSB implantations at the National University Hospital of Singapore from March 2006 to November 2009. Patients were divided into the Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) Group and Conductive Hearing Loss (CHL)/Mixed Hearing Loss (MHL) Group. Surgical complications were evaluated, and objective and subjective results were compared between the two groups. No major complications were observed during the follow-up of up to 4 years. Greater objective and subjective benefits were observed in the CHL/MHL Group. Subjective benefits were consistent with objective improvements. Pre-operative counseling for realistic expectations is important, especially for patients with SNHL.
Vibrant Soundbridge（VSB）已被推荐用于所有类型听力损失的成人和儿童。本研究旨在评估 VSB 的客观和主观获益，以及不同类型听力损失患者的获益差异。对 2006 年 3 月至 2009 年 11 月在新加坡国立大学医院接受 VSB 植入术的 7 例连续患者进行了回顾性病例研究。患者分为感音神经性听力损失（SNHL）组和传导性听力损失（CHL）/混合性听力损失（MHL）组。评估了手术并发症，并比较了两组的客观和主观结果。在长达 4 年的随访中，未观察到重大并发症。CHL/MHL 组观察到更大的客观和主观获益。主观获益与客观改善一致。对于 SNHL 患者，进行术前咨询以了解现实期望非常重要。
