“…The improvement of the quality of life with the hearing aids in this study was relatively modest in comparison to the one obtained after the rehabilitation of a moderateto-severe bilateral hearing loss [Arunachalam et al, 2001; HINT. A white noise (65 dB) was delivered to the front and a signal (monosyllabic words) with increasing intensities (65-95 dB) to the deaf side without (-) and with (+) hearing aids.…”

The aim of this study was to compare a contralateral routing of signal (CROS) hearing aid to a transcutaneous bone-anchored device in the same conditions. This prospective crossover study included 18 adult patients with a single-sided deafness (SSD). After a trial period of 60 days with CROS and 7 days with a transcutaneous bone-anchored device (Alpha 1®, Sophono, Boulder, Colo., USA) on a headband, 13 (72%) patients opted for Alpha 1, 2 patients for CROS, and 3 rejected both rehabilitation methods. Clinical tolerance, satisfaction, hearing performances (pure-tone audiometry, speech test in quiet and in noise, stereo audiometry, sound localization, and Hearing in Noise Test), and quality of life (Glasgow Benefit Inventory, Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit and Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit questionnaires) were measured at 3 and 12 months after the implantation. Both devices improved equally the hearing in noise and the quality of life. Transcutaneous devices represent an effective option in SSD.

“…1,2 Additionally, boneanchored hearing systems have been demonstrated to improve the quality of life of patients with unilateral profound hearing loss via contralateral cochlea stimulation. 3 Bone-anchored hearing systems work by transforming an auditory stimulus into a vibratory stimulus; this is transmitted to the cochlea via a titanium fixture within the temporal bone.…”

Initial experience of a rapid-insertion bone-anchored hearing system: series of 20 consecutive implants

et al. 2014

Objective: The loading of bone-anchored hearing system sound processors usually occurs two to three months after surgical implant. This study examined a new bone-anchored hearing system coupling mechanism that permits loading at two weeks post-implantation without compromising osseointegration. Methods: Twenty implants were implanted into 15 patients. The interval between operation and time of processor loading was recorded, along with the cause of any delay and any late complications. Results: Two patients were fitted with implants at seven and nine weeks. The delay was a result of administrative errors; the patients reported no skin problems. Of the remaining 17 implants, 8 processors were fitted at 2 weeks, 1 at 3 weeks, 4 at 4 weeks, 3 at 7 weeks and 1 at 8 weeks. For those nine implants fitted later than two weeks, the delay was because of incomplete skin healing. Conclusion: The Oticon Medical Xpress system allowed processor loading at two weeks post-operatively, providing skin healing was adequate. Early loading occurred in approximately half of the patients. All patients were fitted within the two to three months traditionally allowed. Prolonged skin healing time was the main reason for the delayed fitting of sound processors.

“…Results for nonacoustic benefits of BAHAs on new hearing aid users demonstrated perceived benefit as measured by the disease-specific QOL measures of the GBI and the HHIA or HHIE. Only descriptive statistics were used to document the nonacoustic benefits of BAHAs on the GBI for several of the studies (Arunachalam, Kilby, Meikle, et al, 2001;Dutt, McDermott, Burrell, et al, 2002;McLarnon, Davison, & Johnson, 2004). However, statistical significance was demonstrated for the nonacoustic benefits of BAHAs when the Visual Analog Scale of the GBI (Dutt, McDermott, Jelbert, et al, 2002) and the HHIA were used (Wazen, Spitzer, Ghossaini, et al, 2001).…”

A Systematic Review of the Nonacoustic Benefits of Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids

et al. 2006

The evidence identified in this review is limited regarding the nonacoustic benefits of BAHAs compared with unaided conditions or other types of amplification. Professionals should use caution when counseling patients about the quality of life (QOL) benefits of these devices. Routine use of QOL outcome measures and standardized methods for reporting findings are critical in demonstrating the nonacoustic benefits of BAHAs.
