|---|---|
| The therapeutic effects are evaluated at 5 month after the middle ear implantation surgery, using the free field speech recognition threshold test. In the speech recognition threshold test with quiet, marked recovery is defined as any recovery of the maximum speech recognition score (%) by speech recognition threshold test using 67S or 57S Japanese monosyyrable word table (Japan Audiological Society 1967, 1957). | — |
