Implication

Retrospective case series reports symptom resolution after round window reinforcement in hyperacusis, highlighting surgical outcomes.

Key Points

  • All patients with hyperacusis symptoms experienced resolution post–round window reinforcement surgery.
  • The mean follow-up period was 50 months, with one patient developing manageable imbalance afterward.
  • Surgery indicated for carefully selected patients, with potential risks for postoperative hearing loss.
  • Two out of three patients reported mild worsening of hearing loss following the round window reinforcement procedure.
