To investigate the surgical and audiological outcomes of the Bonebridge transcutaneous bone conduction hearing implant among children with congenital aural atresia.
Six children were recruited and underwent Bonebridge transcutaneous bone conduction implant surgery. The patients' audiometric thresholds for air conduction, bone conduction and sound-field tests were assessed pre-operatively and at six months post-operatively. Patients' satisfaction was assessed at six months post-operatively with the Hearing Device Satisfaction Scale.
No major complications were reported. Mean aided sound-field thresholds improved post-operatively by more than 30 dB for 0.5-4 kHz (p 0.05). All patients were satisfied (scores were over 90 per cent) with the implant in terms of functional outcome and cosmetic appearance.
Bonebridge transcutaneous bone conduction implant surgery is safe and effective among children with congenital aural atresia with conductive hearing loss.
探讨骨桥经皮骨传导听力植入装置在先天性外耳道闭锁儿童中的手术及听力效果。
招募6名儿童并为其实施骨桥经皮骨传导植入手术。术前及术后6个月评估患者气导、骨导及声场测试的听阈。术后6个月采用听力装置满意度量表评估患者满意度。
未报告重大并发症。术后0.5 - 4千赫平均助听听阈改善超过30分贝（p < 0.05）。所有患者对植入装置的功能及外观均感到满意（评分超过90%）。
骨桥经皮骨传导植入手术对于患有传导性听力损失的先天性外耳道闭锁儿童是安全有效的。
