The Auditory Ossicles

3.8K
The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Bone conduction implants address conductive/mixed hearing loss and single-sided deafness (SSD).
  • Transcutaneous bone conduction implants minimize complications associated with percutaneous systems, such as skin issues and infections.
  • The Bonebridge system is a semi-implantable active bone conduction implant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the Bonebridge active bone conduction implant system.
  • To describe surgical techniques for the three implantation approaches: transmastoid, retrosigmoid, and middle fossa.
  • To present global results regarding functional gain, speech reception thresholds, and word recognition scores.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of MEDLINE database using the keyword "Bonebridge".
  • Inclusion of five selected publications.
  • Analysis of data from 20 patients who received Bonebridge implants via different surgical approaches and for various pathologies.

Main Results:

  • The Bonebridge system is suitable for conductive/mixed hearing loss and SSD, with surgical approach tailored to patient anatomy.
  • Fewer complications were observed compared to percutaneous bone conduction implants.
  • Proven benefits in speech discrimination and functional gain were demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • The Bonebridge system provides a viable treatment option for specific hearing loss types.
  • Transcutaneous implantation offers a safer alternative to percutaneous devices.
  • The system effectively improves auditory function and patient outcomes.
