title: [Results of middle-ear implants].
abstract: The results of the various currently-available active middleear implants are discussed. These systems produce high satisfaction (above 85%) in patients with neurosensorial hearing loss. Round window stimulation systems provide excellent results in mixed and conductive hearing loss. Implant removal is required in less than 10% of patients.
