ABSTRACT

Introducción: los implantes auditivos de conducción ósea percutáneos han sido usados de forma exitosa; sin embargo, un número importante de pacientes reportan reacciones repetitivas en la piel. En esta medida, los implantes auditivos transcutáneos son una alternativa que puede solventar estas complicaciones. Con este estudio queremos describir los resultados audiológicos y de calidad de vida en los pacientes que requirieron una transición del sistema percutáneo al transcutáneo. Metodología: estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal, en el que se incluyeron pacientes con un implante auditivo percutáneo, quienes requirieron una transición al sistema transcutáneo. El desempeño auditivo se evaluó utilizando una prueba con fondo ruidoso, y se aplicó la escala de calidad de vida Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI). Resultados: se incluyeron 8 pacientes, 3 de ellos con cirugía bilateral, para 11 oídos. El implante percutáneo fue usado en promedio = 9,5 ± 5,0 años, y la razón de la transición fueron reacciones reiterativas en la piel. Los resultados auditivos muestran un buen desempeño, tanto en los umbrales en silencio = 37,1 ± 6,1 dB, como en el reconocimiento del habla en ambientes ruidosos = 71,2 % ± 19,8, medidas significativamente mejores que los resultados sin implante (p <0,05). La relación señal/ruido fue = -2,6 ± 2,7 dB. Los resultados de la escala GBI mostraron un cambio positivo tanto en el resultado global (mediana = +34,75) como en las tres subescalas (mediana; estado general = +35,4, relaciones sociales = +41,65, salud física = +33,3). Conclusión: la transición de un dispositivo de conducción ósea percutáneo a uno transcutáneo puede realizarse de forma segura y efectiva. Se encontró un desempeño auditivo satisfactorio con el uso del implante transcutáneo, así como un cambio positivo en la percepción de la calidad de vida.


Introduction: the percutaneous bone-anchored hearing aid, has been successfully used. However, a significant number of patients report repetitive skin reactions. The transcutaneous bone-anchored hearing aid is an alternative that can solve these complications. With this study we aim to describe the audiological results and changes in the quality of life in patients who required transition from the percutaneous to the transcutaneous system. Methods: cross-sectional, descriptive observational study, patients with percutaneous hearing implants who required transition to the transcutaneous system were included. Hearing performance was assessed using a noisy background test and the quality of life scale Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) was applied. Results: 8 patients were included, 3 of them with bilateral surgery, for 11 ears. The percutaneous implant was used on average = 9.5 ± 5.0 years, the reason for the transition was repetitive skin reactions. The auditory results show good performance, both in thresholds in silence = 37.1 ± 6.1 dB, and in speech recognition in noisy environment = 71.2% ± 19.8. These measures are significantly better than the results without implant, p <0.05. The signal/noise ratio was = -2.6 ± 2.7 dB. The results of the GBI scale showed a positive change, both in the overall result (median = +34.75), and in the three subscales (median; general state = +35.4, social relations = +41.65, physical health = +33.3). Conclusion: the transition from a percutaneous to a transcutaneous bone-anchored hearing aid can be performed safely and effectively. Satisfactory hearing performance was found with the use of the transcutaneous implant; as well as a positive change in the perception of quality of life.

ABSTRACT

Atresia óssea e otite média crônica são os principais grupos de beneficiários com implantes do ouvido médio. Cirurgia de atresia é tecnicamente complexo, tem muitas complicações e resultados funcionais pobres. Os aparelhos auditivos osseointegrados são uma alternativa. Eles fornecem um ganho funcional muito bom, mas tem muitos problemas de pele e osseointegração. Na otite média crônica, ossiculoplastias resolveram parcialmente o problema de audição. Infelizmente, em alguns casos de otites média e cavidades abertas, equipamentos com aparelhos auditivos convencionais são difíceis e muitas vezes insatisfatórios. OBJETIVO: Determinar a utilidade de um implante do ouvido médio. Desenho de estudo longitudinal. MÉTODOS: Vibrant-Soundbrigde foi implantado em oito pacientes com perda auditiva mista grave. Quatro apresentavam otite média crônica e quatro apresentavam atresia unilateral. A colocação do estimulador (FMT ou Floating Mass Transducer) foi em cinco pacientes na janela redonda, dois no estribo e um na janela oval. RESULTADOS: Ganho funcional foi de 35 dB, 40 dB, 48,7 dB e 50 dB para as frequências de 500, 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz, respectivamente. CONCLUSÃO: Vibrant-Soundbrigde é uma excelente opção no restabelecimento da audição em perda auditiva mista grave e profunda. Ele fornece um excelente ganho funcional em doenças de difícil tratamento com equipamentos convencionais.


Osseous atresia and chronic otitis media are diseases benefit with middle ear implants. Surgery for atresia is technically complicated, has significant number of complications and functional results are often poor. The osseointegrated hearing aids are an alternative. They provide a very good functional gain, but have many problems with the skin and osseointegration. In chronic otitis media, the ossiculoplasty solved partially the hearing problem. Unfortunately in some cases of otitis media and in open cavities fitted with conventional hearing aids the gain is unsatisfactory. AIM: To determine the usefulness of an active middle ear implant. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Longitudinal Study. Vibrant- Soundbrigde was implanted in eight patients with severe mixed hearing loss. Four patients had chronic otitis media and four had unilateral atresia. The placement of the stimulator (FMT or Floating Mass Transducer) was in five patients on round window, two in stapes and one in the oval window. RESULTS: Functional gain was 35 dB, 40 dB, 48.7 dB and 50 dB for the frequencies 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz, respectively. CONCLUSION: Vibrant-Soundbrigde is an excellent option in hearing recovery in severe and profound mixed hearing loss. It also provides an excellent functional gain in diseases difficult to treat with conventional hearing aids.

ABSTRACT

Afissura labiopalatina, por provocar alterações nas estruturas do lábio e do palato, pode causar comprometimento auditivo, devido às otites médias recorrentes. O tratamento mais adequado é controverso, podendo ser indicado o uso de antibióticos e inserção do tubo de ventilação, ou o acompanhamento otorrinolaringológico, audiológico e reabilitação aural, com uso de aparelho de amplificação sonora individual (AASI). Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil dos pacientes com fissura labiopalatina e deficiência auditiva, adaptados com AASI e acompanhados pelo setor de Otorrinolaringologia e Fonoaudiologia de um hospital especializado em anomalias craniofaciais e deficiência auditiva. Estudo Retrospectivo. Material e método: Análise retrospectiva de 131 prontuários de pacientes com fissura labiopalatina operada e deficiência auditiva, adaptados com AASI pelo referido centro. Resultados: O perfil geral (n=131) caracterizou-se pela predominância do gênero feminino (53 por cento), fissura transforame incisivo unilateral (27 por cento), presença de anomalias associadas (51 por cento), histórico de alterações de orelha média (56 por cento) e intervenção cirúrgica (56 por cento). Conclusão: O perfil geral dos pacientes com fissura labiopalatina e deficiência auditiva, adaptados com AASI, caracterizou-se pela predominância da fissura de lábio e palato, histórico positivo de alteração de orelha média, intervenção cirúrgica e deficiência auditiva sensorioneural bilateral.


Cleft palates cause alterations in palate and lip structures, and it may also cause hearing loss because of recurrent otitis media. The appropriate treatment is controversial. It may include the prescription of antibiotics and insertion of a ventilation tube, or even otorhinolaryngological and audiological assistance, and hearing rehabilitation, with the use of an individual sound amplifier aid (ISAA). AIM: To characterize the profile of individuals with cleft palate and hearing loss, users of ISAA are assisted by the center of otorhinolaryngology and speech therapy of a hospital specialized in craniofacial anomalies and hearing impairment. Retrospective Study. Material and methods: Retrospective analysis of 131 charts of patients with corrected cleft palate and hearing loss, fitted with ISAA by the center abovementioned. Results: The sample (n=131) was characterized by a prevalence of females (53 percent), unilateral incisive transforaminal cleft (27 percent), presence of associated anomalies (51 percent), history of alterations of the middle ear (56 percent) and surgery intervention (56 percent). Conclusion: The general profile of the individuals with cleft palate and hearing loss, fitted with ISAA, was characterized by the predominance of cleft lip and palate, positive history of middle ear alterations, surgery intervention and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.
