A major challenge for otologists treating middle ear infection is to obtain a dry ear and optimal hearing. If the patient needs amplification and uses an air conduction hearing aid, the ear mold, occluding the ear canal, may provoke or aggravate the infection in the middle ear and thus cause otorrhoea. Continuous otorrhoea may cause cochlear damage in the long run. Bone conduction hearing aids offer an alternative for such patients.
对于治疗中耳感染的耳科医生来说，一个主要挑战是使耳朵干燥并获得最佳听力。如果患者需要使用助听器且使用气导助听器，堵塞耳道的耳模可能会引发或加重中耳感染，从而导致耳漏。长期持续的耳漏可能会导致耳蜗损伤。骨导助听器为这类患者提供了一种替代选择。
