    Revision of active middle ear implants (AMEI): causes, surgical issues and rehabilitative transition at a single implanting center

    The active middle ear implants (AMEI) are presently considered an alternative tool for rehabilitating—in selected cases—different type and severity of hearing loss, when the use of a conventional hearing aid (cHA) is inappropriate or inadequate [ 1 …]. Contrary to a cochlear implant (CI) which is indicated for helping a total or near-total decrease of speech discrimination that generally accompanies severe or profound sensorineural hearing loss, the audiological indications for an AMEI include conductive, mixed or moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss [
