Satisfaction scores were compared to pre- and post-operative audiologic outcomes. The correlation between GBI and HDSS scores was\u00a0also examined.\n\nRESULTS: A total of 28 of the 39 patients (72%) responded: 13 with a BB and 15 with a VSB at a mean of 13 months after implantation. The overall\u00a0mean total GBI score was 30, with no significant differences across the groups. The responders generally reported that they were \u201csatisfied\u201d across\u00a0most domains of the HDSS. In the study, 25 of the 28 responders were largely satisfied with their devices but 3 respondents were not. Two were\u00a0known non-users, while one used the device but did not gain the benefit expected. It is instructive to note that all of these dissatisfied recipients\u00a0were close to the manufacturer recommended limits for implantation of their respective devices at the time of surgery.\u00a0Certain themes were identified within the patients\u2019 responses, indicating common aspects where satisfaction was poorer.\n\nCONCLUSION: This series of 28 implant recipients demonstrates high levels of satisfaction with implantable hearing devices across 2 different\u00a0validated questionnaires. Implant teams could exercise caution and manage patient expectations if the patients are close to the recommended\u00a0limits of a particular device.\n\nCite this article as: Jones SEM, Roplekar-Bance R, Green R, Rae C, Ferguson A, Spielmann PM.
