We placed particular emphasis on the practicability of fixing the prosthesis to the long process of the incus and on the postoperative improvement in hearing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective chart review.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study included 23 patients who had a CliP\u00ae Piston \u00e0Wengen fitted and 21 patients with a Soft CliP\u00ae Piston (both from Kurz Medizintechnik, Dusslingen, Germany). Air and bone conduction were tested preoperatively and 5 to 6 weeks after surgery in all patients, as well as after about 1 year in a subgroup.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found a mean air\u2010bone gap of 8.5 \u00b1 5.2 dB in the frequencies 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz for the patients with a CliP\u00ae Piston \u00e0Wengen at follow\u2010up audiometry after an average of 31 days, and of 6.4 \u00b1 3.7 dB for 11 patients after 412 days. The corresponding figures for patients with Soft CliP\u00ae Pistons were 8.9 \u00b1 4.1 dB after 44 days, and 6.3 \u00b1 5.6 dB for 10 patients after 419 days.

All the prostheses were implanted without difficulty.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The two stapes prostheses studied gave good early audiometric results that showed no difference. After a short learning period, both could be pushed onto the long process of the incus with similar ease, although subjectively the new design of the Soft CliP\u00ae seemed to adapt better to the different diameters of the process and took up less space in the middle ear.
