Bonebridge Implantation for Conductive Hearing Loss in a Patient with Oval Window Atresia.
نویسنده
چکیده
The occurrence of oval window atresia is a rare anomaly with conductive hearing loss. Traditional atresia surgeries involve challenging surgical techniques with risks of irreversible inner ear damage. Recent reports on Bonebridge (Medel, Innsbruck, Austria), a novel implantable bone conduction hearing aid system, assert that the device is safe and effective for conductive hearing loss. We present a case of Bonebridge implantation in an eight-year-old girl with bilateral oval window atresia.

Imaging and clinical evaluation of isolated atresia of the oval window.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Congenital causes of hearing loss in children commonly are encountered, and imaging aids in diagnosis as well as presurgical evaluation. Atresia of the oval window not associated with atresia of the external auditory canal (EAC) is a rare cause of congenital hearing loss in children. We present the clinical and imaging findings in children with isolated oval-window atresi...
متن کاملImaging of congenital middle ear deafness.
INTRODUCTION Conductive hearing loss, in the presence of a normal external ear, is usually due to an interference with the normal transmission of sound from the tympanic membrane across the ossicular chain to the oval window. If conductive hearing loss occurs in a young child, congenital middle ear pathology is the most likely cause. MATERIALS AND METHODS High resolution computed tomography o...

Results: Audiometric evaluation showed a maximal unilateral left conductive hearing loss. High resolution temporal bone CT showed absence of the oval window on the left along with facial and stapes abnormalities. Exploratory tympanotomy showed an aberrant facial nerve, monopodal and abnormally located stapes and absent oval window. Postoperative hearing gain achieved after a neo-oval window and...
متن کاملChanges in spontaneous activity and CNS morphology associated with conductive and sensorineural hearing loss in chickens.
The effects of a conductive or mixed (conductive and sensorineural) hearing loss on anatomical and physiological properties of the chicken auditory system were examined. Animals used in the anatomical studies underwent either a columella (ossicle) removal, which produced a moderate conductive hearing loss, or an oval window puncture, which produced a severe mixed hearing loss, at 4 days posthat...
متن کاملActive Bone Conduction Prosthesis: Bonebridge
Bone conduction implants are indicated for patients with conductive and mixed hearing loss that do not benefit from conventional hearing aids or for those that cannot use them for anatomy abnormalities or medical conditions. These implants are also indicated for patients with single-sided deafness (SSD), which consists of one ear with profound hearing loss and the contralateral with normal hear...
