Initial results vary widely, and post-implantation therapy is required as well as time for the brain to adapt to hearing new sounds.

Comparisons have shown stapedotomy to yield either as good or better results than stapedectomy ( measured by hearing improvement and reduction in the air-bone hearing gap, and especially at higher sound frequencies ), and to be less prone to complications.

* Damage to the hair cells of the inner ear results in sensorineural hearing loss, which affects the ability to discriminate between sounds.
