Changes in hearing disability (Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit [APHAB]) and changes\n in quality of life (Glasgow Benefit Inventory [GBI]) were determined. Mean benefit value on the APHAB for the subscale Ease of Communication was close to the mean reference value for conventional hearing aids. For the subscales Reverberation and Background Noise, a poorer result was found.\n Individual analysis of the APHAB scores showed significant benefit in 12 out of the 23 patients. According to the GBI, 16 out of 17 patients reported that middle ear implantation had made a positive impact on their quality of life. It is concluded that middle ear implantation has a positive\n effect on hearing difficulties and quality of life in hearing-impaired subjects who cannot use conventional devices. The APHAB outcomes were not better than those reported for conventional devices. Se estudi\u00f3 el beneficio subjetivo de la implantaci\u00f3n del o\u00eddo medio en\n un grupo de 23 pacientes hipoac\u00fasicos que no pod\u00edan utilizar auxiliares auditivos convencionales debido a una otitis externa cr\u00f3nica severa. Se determinaron los cambios en discapacidad auditiva (Perfil Abreviado del Beneficio del Auxiliar Auditivo [APHAB]) y los cambios\n en la calidad de vida (Inventario Glasgow de Beneficio [GBI]). El valor medio de beneficio en el APHAB para la sub-escala Facilidad de Comunicaci\u00f3n fue cercano al valor medio de referencia para los auxiliares auditivos convencionales. Para las sub-escalas de Reverberaci\u00f3n y Ruido\n de Fondo, se encontr\u00f3 un resultado m\u00e1s pobre. El an\u00e1lisis individual de los puntajes APHAB mostr\u00f3 un beneficio significativo en 12 de los 23 pacientes. De acuerdo con el GBI, 16 de los 17 pacientes reportaron que la implantaci\u00f3n del o\u00eddo medio hab\u00eda\n tenido un impacto positivo en la calidad de sus vidas. Se concluye que la implantaci\u00f3n del o\u00eddo medio tiene un efecto positivo sobre las dificultades de comunicaci\u00f3n y sobre la calidad de vida en sujetos hipoac\u00fasicos que no pueden utilizar dispositivos convencionales.\n Los resultados del APHAB no fueron mejores que aquellos reportados con dispositivos convencionales.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3766\/jaaa.18.6.4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,1]],"date-time":"2017-12-01T15:17:46Z","timestamp":1512141466000},"page":"496-503","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Evaluation of the Subjective Effect of Middle Ear Implantation in Hearing-Impaired Patients with Severe External Otitis"],"prefix":"10.3766","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Ad F.M.","family":"Snik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noortje T.L.","family":"van Duijnhoven","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jef J.S.","family":"Mulder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cor W.R.J.","family":"Cremers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2087","container-title":["Journal of the American Academy of Audiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/aaa\/jaaa\/2007\/00000018\/00000006\/art00004","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,5]],"date-time":"2025-02-05T23:16:03Z","timestamp":1738797363000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/10.3766\/jaaa.18.6.4"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,1]]}},"alternative-id":["1050-0545(20070601)18:6L.496;1-"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3766\/jaaa.18.6.4","relation":{},"ISSN":["1050-0545"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1050-0545"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,1]]}}}
