The Birmingham osseointegration programme began in 1988 and during the following 10 years there were a total of 351 bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) implantees. In the summer of 2000, a postal questionnaire study was undertaken to establish the impact of the bone-anchored hearing aid on all aspects of patients' lives. We used the Glasgow benefit inventory (GBI), which is a subjective patient orientated post-interventional questionnaire especially developed to evaluate any otorhinolaryngological surgery and therapy. It is maximally sensitive to any change in health status brought about by a specific event: in this case the provision of a BAHA. A total of 312 bone-anchored hearing aid patients, who had used their aids for a minimum period of six months, were sent GBI questionnaires. Two hundred and twenty-seven questionnaires were returned and utilized in the study. The results revealed that the use of a bone-anchored hearing aid significantly enhanced general well being (patient benefit), improved the patient's state of health (quality of life) and finally was considered a success by patients and their families.
伯明翰骨整合项目始于1988年，在随后的10年里，共有351名患者植入了骨锚式助听器（BAHA）。2000年夏天，我们开展了一项邮寄问卷调查研究，以确定骨锚式助听器对患者生活各个方面的影响。我们使用了格拉斯哥效益量表（GBI），这是一份以患者为导向的主观干预后问卷，专门用于评估任何耳鼻喉科手术和治疗。它对特定事件引起的健康状况变化极为敏感：在本案例中，即BAHA的使用。我们向312名使用助听器至少6个月的骨锚式助听器患者发放了GBI问卷。共收回227份问卷并用于本研究。结果显示，使用骨锚式助听器显著提高了总体幸福感（患者受益），改善了患者的健康状况（生活质量），最终患者及其家属认为该治疗是成功的。
