    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Chronic otitis media can lead to persistent ear discharge, complicating conventional hearing aid use.
    • Traditional ear canal hearing aid molds may exacerbate discharge issues in some patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a new bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) technique for chronic otitis media patients with discharge.
    • To assess the efficacy, patient satisfaction, and safety of this BAHA in a clinical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Eight patients with chronic otitis media and discharge were fitted with a BAHA system.
    • The system utilizes an osseointegrated titanium screw in the mastoid area.
    • Evaluation occurred in a routine clinical setting over a minimum 12-month observation period.

    Main Results:

    • All patients experienced improvement in ear drainage.
    • Patients reported high satisfaction with hearing results.
    • Practical and cosmetic aspects of the BAHA were also highly rated.

    Conclusions:

    • The bone-anchored hearing aid is an effective solution for chronic otitis media patients experiencing discharge.
    • This method provides excellent hearing outcomes and high patient satisfaction.
    • No complications were observed during the follow-up period, indicating a safe treatment option.
