This report concerns the long term utilisation of a bone anchored hearing aid system, Audiant, in a large district general hospital in England serving a population of 500,000. Earlier experience with some of these patients has been previously reported (6). All patients included in this series had been provided with conventional hearing aids but for various reasons, indicated in the text, had found them unsatisfactory. Efforts to overcome some of these difficulties led to the utilisation of the osteointegrated hearing aid. Patients regard it to have significant advantages over their previous hearing aids. Some who had previously used conventional bone conduction hearing aids, are now able to use an ear level processor. Of the eleven patients implanted, eight continue to use their bone-anchored hearing aids, two having had their implant for 6 years, three for 5 years and three for 2 years.
本报告涉及一种骨锚式助听器系统——奥迪安（Audiant）在英格兰一家大型综合医院的长期使用情况，该医院服务人口达50万。此前已报告过其中部分患者的早期使用经验（6）。本系列纳入的所有患者均曾使用过传统助听器，但因文中所述的各种原因，他们觉得传统助听器并不令人满意。为克服其中一些困难所做的努力促使了骨整合助听器的使用。患者认为它比他们之前的助听器有显著优势。一些以前使用传统骨传导助听器的患者，现在能够使用耳背式助听器。在植入的11名患者中，有8人继续使用他们的骨锚式助听器，其中2人植入已6年，3人植入已5年，3人植入已2年。
