“…BCHDs are classified into passive BCHDs (e.g., BAHA—either connect or attract- or the Ponto device by Oticon ) and active BCHDs (e.g., Med-EL Bonebridge ® [ 6 , 7 ] and the new Osia ® system by Cochlear Ltd ) [ 8 , 9 ] . These devices are indicated in patients with conductive hearing loss (CHL), mixed hearing loss (MHL) or in single sided deafness (SSD) with stable bone conduction hearing thresholds(BC) within the recommended manufacturer’s range [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Purpose Implantable hearing devices are indicated for candidates who could not benefit from conventional hearing aids. This study aimed at evaluating their effectiveness in rehabilitation of hearing loss. Methods This study included patients who received bone conduction implants at Tertiary Teaching Hospitals, between December 2018 and November 2020. Data were collected prospectively, and patients were assessed both subjectively using COSI and GHABP questionnaires and objectively using bone conduction and air conduction thresholds, unaided and aided free field speech thresholds. Outcomes of transcutaneous (tBCHD) and percutaneous (pBCHD) bone conduction hearing devices were compared as well as outcomes of unilateral versus bilateral fitting. Postoperative skin complications were recorded and compared. Results A total of seventy patients were included, thirty-seven of them were implanted with tBCHD and thirty-three with pBCHD. Fifty-five patients were fitted unilaterally compared to 15 bilateral fitting. Preoperative mean of bone conduction (BC) of the overall sample was 23.27 ± 10.91 dB, the Air conduction (AC) mean was 69.27 ± 13.75 dB. There was significant difference between unaided free field speech score (88.51% ± 7.92) and the aided score (96.79 ± 2.38) with P value = 0.00001. The postoperative assessment using GHABP showed a benefit score mean of 70.95 ± 18.79, patient satisfaction score mean of 78.15 ± 18.39. The disability score improved significantly from a mean of 54.08 ± 15.26 to residual score of only 12.50 ± 10.22 with P < 0.00001 postoperatively. There was significant improvement in all parameters of COSI questionnaire following fitting. Comparison of pBCHDs vs tBCHDs showed a non-significant difference regarding FF speech as well as GHABP parameters. Comparison of the post-operative skin complications was in favor of tBCHDs as (86.5%) of the patients had normal skin postoperatively, compared to 45.5% of patients with pBCHDs devices. Bilateral implantation showed significant improvement of FF speech scores, GHABP satisfaction score, as well as COSI score results. Conclusion Bone conduction hearing devices are effective solution for rehabilitation of hearing loss. Bilateral fitting yields satisfactory outcomes in suitable candidates. Transcutaneous devices carry significantly lower skin complication rates compared to percutaneous devices.

“…Receiver in the canal (RIC) hearing aids with open fitting or ear mold(s) are all used for the treatment of different types and degrees of hearing loss such as sensorineural, conductive, and/or mixed hearing loss. [6][7][8] The cochlear implant is a prosthesis that electrically bypasses the cochlea and transmits the signals to the brain and is mainly used for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-profound hearing loss with poor word recognition scores who cannot benefit from conventional hearing aids. Moreover, it is useful for the treatment of patients with single-sided deafness or SSD.…”

We attempted a multimodal fitting approach on a 22-year-old female patient with profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in the right ear and moderate-to-profound SNHL in the left ear since she was a child (Prelingual). She has been wearing a cochlear implant on her right ear with the Kanso one sound processor (Nucleus® Sound Processor from Cochlear Ltd) and a Resound behind the ear (BTE) hearing aid on her left ear (Bimodal fitting). We used a combination of electrical-acoustic stimulation plus (EAS-P), vibration-acoustic stimulation (VAS), and vibration-electrical stimulation (VES) to investigate whether the patient’s speech recognition in a noisy environment improves with our multimodal approach compared to the bimodal fitting approach. We used MedRx Audiometer for our evaluations and the calibration was done before our assessments.
