How effect is educational counseling prior to middle ear surgery for patients with both middle ear diseases and consistent tinnitus?

abstract：:Six profoundly deaf patients were studied with mapping evoked potentials (MEP) using an acoustic signal passed through the vibrotactile prosthesis. This stimulus produced an activation of the central sulcus brain cortex. When the proSthesis was placed in the presenternal area it showed N1 P1 potentials with higher vol...
