Bone conduction implants – a rapidly developing field

Abstract: Advances in surgical technique are described, with the move towards the use of linear incisions and no soft tissue reduction. Methods for preventing complications are analysed, with review of different abutments and the introduction of the active bone conduction implant.

“…Bone anchored hearing systems (BAHS) are an established method for the treatment of conductive and mixed hearing loss [ 1 3 ] and, more recently, also for the treatment of single sided sensorineural deafness [ 4 7 ]. BAHS consist of a skin penetrating abutment mounted on an osseointegrated titanium implant located behind the ear.…”

“…The audiological benefits of BAHS are well documented and the devices are widely used [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 9 ]. Nevertheless, at least 2 drawbacks remain: the need for a surgical intervention and the skin penetrating abutment, with a tendency to low-grade infections around the implant [ 10 , 11 ].…”

“…The principle of bone conduction has been applied for centuries. Today, bone conduction devices are a growing and dynamic field ( Edmiston, Aggarwal, & Green, 2015 ; Reinfeldt, Hakansson, Taghavi, & Eeg-Olofsson, 2015 ). Modern external devices can be included in glasses or rely on transmission via the teeth ( Miller, 2010 ).…”

“…Recently, two new principles have emerged for bone conduction devices and have been labeled as active and passive transcutaneous ( Edmiston et al., 2015 ; Reinfeldt et al., 2015 ). Passive transcutaneous bone conduction is an advancement of the percutaneous device and relies on an osseointegrated post that is covered by intact skin.…”

“…Finally, as a greater choice in abutment lengths became available, a transition to linear incisions, and most recently, the punch technique, has occurred. 6,[8][9][10][11][12][13] Magnetically coupled devices have made bone conduction hearing implants more attractive to patients. Surgery for these devices requires implantation of a bone anchored magnet which couples to an externally worn bone conduction hearing aid via another magnet -rather than a percutaneous abutment.…”
