Hearing loss is one of the most common clinical findings in subjects with malformations of the ear. Treatment consists of surgery and/or adapt a hearing aid amplification by bone (HA VO). Early intervention is critical to auditory stimulation and development of speech and language.
To characterize the audiological profile of subjects with congenital malformation of the external ear and/or middle and evaluate the benefit and satisfaction of using HA VO.
A descriptive study, subjects with bilateral congenital malformations of the external ear and/or middle, conductive or mixed hearing loss, moderate or severe and HA VO users. Evaluation of the benefit test using sentence recognition in noise and measures of functional gain and satisfaction assessment questionnaire using international IQ - HA.
13 subjects were evaluated, 61% were male and 80% with moderate conductive hearing loss or severe. There was better performance in the evaluation proposal, provided with HA when compared to the condition without HA.
HA VO showed advantages for the population studied and should be considered as an option for intervention. Satisfaction was confirmed by elevated scores obtained in IQ - HA.
摘要：听力损失是耳部畸形患者最常见的临床发现之一。治疗方法包括手术和/或通过骨传导（骨导助听器，HA VO）进行听力辅助放大。早期干预对于听觉刺激和言语语言的发展至关重要。
目的：描述先天性外耳和/或中耳畸形患者的听力学特征，并评估使用 HA VO 的益处和满意度。
方法：这是一项描述性研究，研究对象为双侧先天性外耳和/或中耳畸形、传导性或混合性听力损失、中重度和使用骨导助听器的患者。使用噪声下的句子识别测试和国际智商 - HA 问卷进行功能增益和满意度评估来评估助听效果。
结果：共评估了 13 名患者，其中 61%为男性，80%为中重度传导性听力损失。与无 HA 时相比，使用 HA 时评估结果更好。
结论：HA VO 为研究人群带来了优势，应将其作为干预的一种选择。智商 - HA 问卷的高分证实了患者的满意度。
