Implication

Prospective study evaluates bone conduction implant effectiveness in patients with single-sided deafness, suggesting a viable alternative to cochlear implants.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Bonebridge bone conduction device in patients with single-sided deafness who are ineligible for cochlear implantation.
  • Included 52 patients aged 8 to 58 with diagnosed single-sided deafness.
  • Bonebridge implantation surgery was performed, with pre-operative CT scans of the temporal bone.
  • Speech understanding assessed using three Matrix tests and the APHAB questionnaire.
  • Surgery was successful in all patients, with no major complications.
  • Significant improvements in Matrix test results and reductions in hearing difficulties were observed post-surgery.
  • 73% of patients expressed that they would choose Bonebridge implantation again.
