Binaural hearing ability with mastoid applied bilateral bone conduction stimulation in normal hearing subjects.
The ability to use binaural cues when stimulation was by bilaterally applied bone conduction (BC) transducers was investigated in 20 normal hearing participants. The results with BC stimulation were compared with normal air conduction (AC) stimulation through earphones. The binaural hearing ability was tested by spatial release from masking, binaural intelligibility level difference (BILD), bin...
متن کاملBone-conduction amplification with completely-in-the-canal hearing aids.
Recent advances in miniaturization have provided clinicians with hearing aids that can be comfortably inserted as far as the bony portion of the ear canal. It is possible to take advantage of these deeply inserted hearing aids in new ways. For example, the physical vibrations of microphone and receiver components may be used to improve hearing aid gain through bone conduction. Three cases are p...
متن کاملImplantable Bone Conduction and Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids
Unilateral Conductive or Mixed Hearing Loss Unilateral implantable bone conduction (bone-anchored) hearing aid may be considered medically necessary as an alternative to an air-conduction hearing aid in patients 5 years of age and older with a conductive or mixed hearing loss when ONE of the following medical criteria is met: Congenital or surgically induced malformations (eg, atresia) of the...
متن کامل[Bone conduction auditory brainstem responses in normal hearing individuals].
BACKGROUND bone conduction auditory brainstem responses (ABR) in normal hearing individuals. AIM to evaluate the clinical applicability of bone conduction ABR, characterizing normality and determining an assessment protocol. METHOD participants of this study were 22 individuals with normal hearing (20dB NA), with ages between 20 and 30 years, 14 female and 8 male. All individuals were asses...
متن کاملImplantable bone-conduction hearing device: practical considerations.
An implantable bone conduction hearing device can be of significant benefit to carefully selected patients with noncorrectable conductive hearing losses. However, for some patients the device has significant limitations. This paper presents several practical issues that need to be considered before a decision is made regarding implant surgery. It is recommended that, whenever possible, air cond...
