ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of Vibrant Soundbridge (VSB) implantation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In accordance with the indications for VSB implantation, surgeries were done for two patients who suffered from either a sensorineural or conductive hearing loss (microtia). Their preoperative auditory thresholds (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz) were 56 dB HL and 61 dB HL. The VSB was turned on and adjusted seven weeks after surgery.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Postoperative auditory thresholds of the two patients were improved. Their pure tone thresholds were 32 dB HL and 40 dB HL, and the respective improvement was 24 dB HL and 21 dB HL. There was no facial paralysis, vertigo and tinnitus.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Patients with a sensorineural or conductive hearing loss may benefit from VSB implantation.</p>
