Safety and Outcome of Piezoelectric Active Transcutaneous Bone Conduction Implants for Children Younger Than 5 Years: A Prospective Cohort Study
Key Points
Significant improvements in auditory function were observed following bone conduction implant use.
The study reported stable auditory enhancements, demonstrating long-term benefits for children.
Cohort study methodology was utilized, focusing on children younger than five receiving these implants.
These findings suggest that piezoelectric implants may greatly enhance hearing capabilities in young children.
Abstract
Active transcutaneous piezoelectric bone conduction implants are a safe option for young children and provided significant and stable improvements in auditory function.
