ABSTRACT:
The middle ear prosthesis includes an elongated link member having an eyelet portion at one end for connection to one of the auditory ossicles and an opposite posting end connectable to part of another auditory ossicle. A hitching member joined to the link member provides a vehicle for attaching the stapedial tendon to the link member to restore the beneficial effects of the stapedial reflex. Movement of the prosthesis and other remaining portions of the auditory ossicles is thus influenced by the stapedial tendon. The hitching member can be formed of a flexible filament or a relatively inflexible material.
