Inner ear contribution to bone conduction hearing in the human.
Bone conduction (BC) hearing relies on sound vibration transmission in the skull bone. Several clinical findings indicate that in the human, the skull vibration of the inner ear dominates the response for BC sound. Two phenomena transform the vibrations of the skull surrounding the inner ear to an excitation of the basilar membrane, (1) inertia of the inner ear fluid and (2) compression and exp...
متن کاملVibrant Soundbridge and Bone Conduction Hearing Aid in Patients with Bilateral Malformation of External Ear
Introduction Hearing loss is the most common clinical finding in patients with malformation of the external ear canal. Among the possibilities of treatment, there is the adaptation of hearing aids by bone conduction and the adaptation of implantable hearing aids. Objective To assess speech perception with the use of Vibrant Soundbridge (VBS - MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria) associated with addition...
متن کاملEstimation of bone conduction skull transmission by hearing thresholds and ear-canal sound pressure.
Bone conduction sound transmission in the human skull and the occlusion effect were estimated from hearing thresholds and ear-canal sound pressure (ECSP) measured by a probe tube microphone when stimulation was at three positions on the skull (ipsilateral mastoid, contralateral mastoid, and forehead). The measurements were done with the ear-canal open as well as occluded by an ear-plug. Dependi...
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...
متن کاملGlue ear surgery.
Black and Hutchings present an intriguing account of the rise and fall of glue ear surgery in two English regions. 1 They speculate that the acceleration of the decline from 1992 may have been due to the Effective Health Care bulletin on glue ear, helped by five " contextual features ". One of these was the concurrent structural change to the NHS arising from the introduction of healthcare comm...
