We report a case of hearing rehabilitation following combined cochlear implantation and ossiculoplasty. A 71-year-old patient visited the clinic for right-sided mixed hearing loss. We targeted neural and conductive components, performing two different operations simultaneously. At two months post-operative, the patient showed satisfactory results with respect to hearing threshold and speech comprehension. Our experience suggests that careful evaluation of patients and consideration of the diverse array of available treatment strategies can be used to provide personalized rehabilitation with maximal effectiveness. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to take such an integrated approach to treat hearing impairment and is thus likely to have clinical importance for otologists.
我们报告了一例联合人工耳蜗植入和听骨链成形术后的听力康复病例。一名71岁患者因右侧混合性听力损失前来诊所就诊。我们针对神经和传导成分，同时进行了两种不同的手术。术后两个月，患者在听力阈值和言语理解方面取得了满意的结果。我们的经验表明，对患者进行仔细评估并考虑各种可用的治疗策略，可用于提供具有最大效果的个性化康复治疗。据我们所知，这是第一份采用这种综合方法治疗听力障碍的报告，因此可能对耳科医生具有临床重要性。
