Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Audiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Bone conduction hearing implants are crucial for treating hearing loss.
  • Passive transcutaneous bone conduction hearing implants (pTCBI) represent a newer alternative to traditional percutaneous devices.
  • Systematic evaluation of pTCBI outcomes is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review available literature on passive transcutaneous bone conduction hearing implants (pTCBI).
  • To assess complications, audiological outcomes, and quality-of-life scores associated with pTCBI.
  • To compare pTCBI with existing hearing implant technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library.
  • Inclusion of all English-language articles on pTCBI implantation in pediatric and adult patients.
  • Extraction of data on complications, audiological gains (PTA, SRT), and quality-of-life.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-six articles reported on 482 pTCBI cases.
  • Major complications occurred in 5.2% of patients; minor complications in 13.1%.
  • Weighted mean pure-tone average gain was 28.4 dB; mean speech reception threshold gain was 32.9 dB, with favorable quality-of-life scores.

Conclusions:

  • Passive transcutaneous bone conduction hearing implants (pTCBI) are a viable option for select patients.
  • pTCBI demonstrate effective audiological outcomes and low morbidity.
  • High patient satisfaction supports pTCBI as a beneficial hearing solution.
