Summary

This study compared an adhesive bone conduction hearing aid to an active transcutaneous bone conduction implant. While both devices offer hearing gain for conductive hearing loss, the transcutaneous implant showed superior audiological performance.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Bone conduction hearing aids are used for conductive and mixed hearing loss.
  • Active transcutaneous bone conduction implants offer a sophisticated solution.
  • Evaluating alternative devices like adhesive bone conduction hearing aids is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the performance and limitations of an adhesive bone conduction hearing aid.
  • To compare it with an active transcutaneous bone conduction implant.
  • To evaluate hearing performance and subjective benefits in patients with mixed and conductive hearing loss.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort study involving fifteen subjects previously implanted with an active transcutaneous device.
  • Subjects used an adhesive hearing device for three weeks, replacing their implant.
  • Audiological tests and quality-of-life assessments were conducted before and after the trial period.

Main Results:

  • The active transcutaneous device demonstrated significantly better functional hearing gain and word recognition scores compared to the adhesive device.
  • A trend suggested greater improvement with the transcutaneous device in patients with higher bone conduction thresholds.
  • No significant differences in hearing-specific or general quality-of-life were found between the two devices.

Conclusions:

  • Both adhesive and active transcutaneous bone conduction devices provide hearing gain for patients with mixed or conductive hearing loss.
  • The adhesive device presents a potential alternative to the active transcutaneous device.
  • Device selection may depend on the individual patient's bone conduction threshold.
