Implantable 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 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 کاملAuditory steady-state responses Maturation of bone-conduction hearing Infant bone-conduction thresholds
The objective of this study was to compare boneconduction (BC) auditory steady-state responses (ASSR) for infants and adults with normal hearing to investigate the time course of maturation of BC hearing sensitivity. Bone-conduction multiple ASSRs were recorded in 0 11-month-old (n 35), and 12 24-monthold infants (n 13), and adults (n 18). Low-frequency BC ASSR thresholds increased with age, wh...
متن کاملAcoustic and physiologic aspects of bone conduction hearing.
Bone conduction (BC) is the way sound energy is transmitted by the skull bones to the cochlea causing a sound perception. Even if the BC sound transmission involves several pathways including sound pressure induced in the ear canal, inertial forces acting on the middle ear ossicles and cochlear fluids, alteration of the cochlear space, and pressure transmission through the 3rd window of the coc...
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...
