To discuss the different types of bone conduction implants available today and describe the types of hearing loss that could benefit from bone conduction implants.
Bone conduction implants have been used successfully for over two decades. However, there have been barriers to their use because of skin complications and limited high-frequency hearing gains. Recently developed technologies, such as active bone conduction implants may overcome some of these limitations, potentially opening the door for improved aided benefit and increased patient satisfaction from bone conduction amplification.
A variety of bone conduction implants currently exist, with suitable amplification options available for many different types and severities of hearing loss and patient preferences.
讨论目前可用的不同类型的骨传导植入物，并描述可能受益于骨传导植入物的听力损失类型。
骨传导植入物已经成功使用了二十多年。然而，由于皮肤并发症和高频听力增益有限，它们的使用受到了限制。最近开发的技术，如主动骨传导植入物，可能克服这些限制中的一些，为骨传导放大提供更好的辅助益处和提高患者满意度的可能性。
目前存在多种骨传导植入物，为许多不同类型和严重程度的听力损失以及患者偏好提供了合适的放大选择。
