    This study evaluated the 3M/Vienna extracochlear implant in five patients. Results showed varied hearing outcomes, but all patients reported satisfaction and continued use of their devices.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Extracochlear implants offer a potential solution for hearing loss.
    • The 3M/Vienna device is a specific type of extracochlear implant technology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy and patient satisfaction with the 3M/Vienna extracochlear implant.
    • To evaluate audiological outcomes following implantation.

    Main Methods:

    • Standard audiological tests including pure-tone audiograms and speech discrimination were performed pre- and post-implantation.
    • The Minimal Auditory Capabilities (MAC) Battery was administered across multiple subtests and time intervals.
    • Patient candidacy was determined using promontory threshold and dynamic range stimulation.

    Main Results:

    • Hearing results demonstrated significant variability among the five participating patients.
    • Post-implantation testing included thresholds and tolerance levels for pure tones and speech with/without acoustic stimulation.
    • Environmental sound perception, speech, and word discrimination were assessed.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite varied hearing results, all five patients expressed high satisfaction with the 3M/Vienna extracochlear implant.
    • The device appears to be well-tolerated, with all patients continuing to wear their implants.
    • Further research may explore factors contributing to individual hearing outcome variability.
