Patients with a conductive hearing loss may find conventional hearing aids unsatisfactory for a variety of reasons. Efforts to overcome some of these difficulties have led to the development of the osteointegrated hearing aid. Implantable bone conduction hearing aids are an important advance in the treatment of well selected patients. Only 18 patients, who have been implanted with the Xomed Audiant bone conduction hearing aid, have so far been reported on in the UK. This report concerns a further six patients who have been implanted in one centre. Five of these patients continue to use their Audiant hearing aid 14 to 24 months after being fitted. They regard it to have significant advantages over their previous hearing aids. Four of the five patients use an ear level processor. Two of the patients who had previously used conventional bone conduction hearing aids now use the ear level processor.
传导性听力损失患者可能会因各种原因觉得传统助听器不尽人意。为克服其中一些困难所做的努力促使了骨整合助听器的发展。可植入式骨传导助听器是精心挑选患者治疗方面的一项重要进展。在英国，目前仅报道了18例植入Xomed Audiant骨传导助听器的患者。本报告涉及在一个中心植入的另外6例患者。其中5例患者在佩戴后14至24个月仍在使用他们的Audiant助听器。他们认为它比之前的助听器有显著优势。5例患者中有4例使用耳背式受话器。之前使用传统骨传导助听器的2例患者现在使用耳背式受话器。
