Abstract

Osseointegrated bone conduction (BC) devices are an important rehabilitation option for patients with mixed or conductive hearing loss or single-sided deafness. The development of new devices is ongoing and requires evaluation of the performance of new hearing aids. Here, we compared the audiologic outcome and subjective benefit of two different designs of osseointegrated implant systems from different manufacturers. Prospective, experimental, monocentric, crossover study performed at the Medical University Hannover, Germany. Eleven patients, already implanted with an adequate abutment, tested each device in daily life situations sequentially for a period of 3 weeks. Bone conduction, word recognition in quiet (Freiburg monosyllable test, L50%), and speech reception thresholds in noise (Oldenburg Sentence Test) were measured unaided and aided with the devices after each test period. The subjective benefit was assessed by the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit; the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale-Comparative questionnaire; and a self-developed handling questionnaire. Audiologic results indicate a slightly better performance of the BCB. However, subjective benefit and patient satisfaction and preference eval...Continue Reading
