Effect of Driver Mass Loading on Bone Conduction Transfer in an Implantable Bone Conduction Transducer

IEEE Access, 2023
This paper focuses on transducers, which are the most important components of bone conduction implants. To improve vibration magnitude, we develop a coil vibration transducer in which the driver mass loading is reduced by about 3.25-fold compared to ...

Bone Anchored Hearing Aid: A Narrative Review [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023
Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) is a small vibrator that can be reversibly attached to a Titanium (Ti) screw and implanted behind the ear. It uses the bone conduction channel to activate the cochleae by converting sound into the vibration of the screw.

Evaluating temporal bone column density for optimized bone conduction implant placement

Frontiers in Surgery, 2023
IntroductionAn optimal placement of bone conduction implants can provide more efficient mechanical transmission to the cochlea if placed in regions with greater bone column density.

Air and Bone Conduction Frequency-specific Auditory Brainstem Response in Children with Agenesis of the External Auditory Canal

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2017
Introduction The tone-evoked auditory brainstem responses (tone-ABR) enable the differential diagnosis in the evaluation of children until 12 months of age, including those with external and/or middle ear malformations.

The Prediction of Speech Recognition in Noise With a Semi-Implantable Bone Conduction Hearing System by External Bone Conduction Stimulation With Headband

Trends in Hearing, 2016
Semi-implantable transcutaneous bone conduction devices are treatment options for conductive and mixed hearing loss (CHL/MHL). For counseling of patients, realistic simulation of the functional result is desirable.

Clinical evaluation of DSL-BCD fittings: assessing output-to-targets for percutaneous bone conduction devices in practice

Frontiers in Audiology and Otology
ObjectivesObjective measurements and prescriptive formulas for air-conduction hearing aids have been discussed extensively in the literature. In contrast, the application of objective verification tools such as clinical skull-simulators in the bone ...

Bone-conduction threshold and air-bone gap may predict frequency-specific air-conduction threshold after tympanoplasty.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Postoperative hearing improvement is one of the main expectations for patients receiving tympanoplasty. The capacity to predict postoperative hearing may help to counsel a patient properly and avoid untoward expectations.
