Tympanoskopie mit Nischenabdeckung

FVA German to English Medical Medical (general)
From a doctor's report about hearing loss. This was a procedure performed on the patient. I haven't been able to find any English sources detailing how a tympanoscopy may be performed, so it's hard to tell what "mit Nischenabdeckung" should be. Does the literal "niche covering" make sense?

Thanks in advance (to avoid cluttering the comments).

tympanoscopy with sealing of the round window [niche]

Tympanoscopy used as an explorative procedurefollowed by the sealing of the round window niche (RWN)

Explorative tympanoscopy with sealing of the oval/round window is a very valuable method in treating sudden hearing loss especially if the hearing loss was severe, profound or patients even were completely deaf and if the operation was performed in second line mode. More studies with larger patient populations are needed to evaluate tympanoscopy in first line mode as treatment of ISSNHL.
The amount of hearing gain after sealing the oval/round window niches with autologous fibrous tissue is compared in the group of IOP-positive patients and in patients with normal anatomical middle ear structures in our own study as well as in studies reported in literature.

Access to the inner ear is usually made via the round window membrane (RWM), located in the bony round window niche (RWN).

Note from asker:
Thanks, that's helpful. So you're familiar with a tympanoscopy? From what I understand so far, various types of apertures can be applied during a tympanoscopy to assess different forms of hearing loss, and "Nischenabdekung" is one such aperture (of the niche type).
Great, thank you. What I'm gathering from your posts, is that the tympanoscopy was performed while covering the round window niche. That is, the ear drum was examined (for the purposes of cochlear implantation) while excluding the RWN by covering it...?
I think this might be "sealing of the round window membrane." See here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/01455613211009141 TinyURL: https://tinyurl.com/bdrh6wwb
