Breakthroughs in Bone Conduction Hearing Implants HOW INDUSTRY-LEADING INNOVATION HAS TRANSFORMED CLINICAL AND PATIENT EXPERIENCES
نویسنده
چکیده
The introduction of the CochlearTM Baha® BI300 Implant and DermaLockTM Abutment (BA400) have significantly improved clinical practices and the patient experience with bone conduction hearing implants. First introduced in 2010, the BI300 Implant is now used by over 50,000 patients worldwide. Of these patients, more than 24,000 have also received the DermaLock Abutment since its introduction in 2013. These two products have been studied and discussed in over 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals; and their performance has been proven through numerous investigations, including large-scale, prospective, randomised, controlled clinical studies with as many as five years of follow-up. The BI300 Implant is now the most tested and evaluated implant in bone conduction hearing since the original Brånemark implant introduced in 1977.

Clinical performance of a new magnetic bone conduction hearing implant system: results from a prospective, multicenter, clinical investigation.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the investigation was to prospectively evaluate, in a multicenter setting, the clinical performance of a new magnetic bone conduction hearing implant system. METHODS The test device was the Cochlear Baha Attract System (Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions AB, Mölnlycke, Sweden). Instead of the skin-penetrating abutment of traditional bone conduction hearing implants, the tes...

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of short implants (<8 mm length) as an alternative to sinus lift surgery and placement of standard-length implants (10-12 mm length) for rehabilitation of atrophic posterior maxilla. Materials and Methods: In this prospective clinical trial, 26 patients with 6-7 mm of residual alveolar bone height in their atrophic posterior ...
متن کاملA Tutorial on Implantable Hearing Amplification Options for Adults with Unilateral Microtia and Atresia
BACKGROUND Patients with unilateral atresia and microtia encounter problems in sound localization and speech understanding in noise. Although there are four implantable hearing devices available, there is little discussion and evidence on the application of these devices on patients with unilateral atresia and microtia problems. OBJECTIVE This paper will review the details of these four impla...
متن کاملFully implantable Otologics MET Carina device for the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss. Preliminary surgical and clinical results.
Middle ear implants overcome some of the common problems of conventional hearing aid technology, such as feedback, signal distortion, ear canal occlusion and associated issues. The Otologics MET Carina, Boulder, CO, USA, is a fully implantable hearing prosthesis designed to address the amplification needs of adults (> 18 years of age), with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss and norm...
متن کاملA novel bone conduction implant (BCI): engineering aspects and pre-clinical studies.
Percutaneous bone anchored hearing aids (BAHA) are today an important rehabilitation alternative for patients suffering from conductive or mixed hearing loss. Despite their success they are associated with drawbacks such as skin infections, accidental or spontaneous loss of the bone implant, and patient refusal for treatment due to stigma. A novel bone conduction implant (BCI) system has been p...
