Popis:	Background Patients' satisfaction with the device is as important as the audiological gains in patients using these devices. Objective in this study, we aimed to evaluate the hearing aid satisfaction of individuals using The Vibrant Sound Bridge (VSB) (Vibrant Med-El, Innsbruck, Austria) and to compare this result with audiologic results with and without devices. Material and methods Patients who were using VSB were included in the study. Preoperative and postoperative pure tone averages and demographic datas of the patients to be included in the study were recorded. A shortened version of Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit (APHAB) questionnaire, was used to evaluate patients' device satisfaction. Results Fifteen patients with VSB were included in the study. The mean follow-up was 9.13 years. The preoperative air conduction threshold and the air-bone gap in all frequencies were significantly higher than postoperative values (p < .05). The functional gain was found as 28 dB. in the APHAB questionnaire, there was a significant difference between total score results and EC, BN, RV subscales in the patients using the device (p < .01). Conclusion and significance Patients with VSB give satisfactory results in auditory gains. in particular, good indication and long-term use of the device increases the suitability and satisfaction of the patients. 7th edition of Dubai Otology, Neurotology & Skull Base Surgery Conference 2019 Dubai This manuscript has been submitted 7th edition of Dubai Otology, Neurotology & Skull Base Surgery Conference 2019 Dubai.
