Abstract
|
|
|
An implantable bone conduction hearing aid is a device that assists hearing by transmittingsound vibration through the bone. It is suitable not only for patients with conductive hearingloss and congenital external aural atresia but also for those with unilateral hearing loss, chron-ic otitis media, or patients whose normal structure has been destroyed due to previous surgery.
In this paper, we introduce a novel surgical technique for an implantable bone conductionhearing aid (BAHA® Attract) that can be performed through minimal incision in a short timeunder local anesthesia based on accurate anatomical characteristics. We believe this noveltechnique could provide convenience for patients and surgeons. Additionally, through thistechnique, we can expect that various types of implantable bone conduction hearing aids thatfunction effectively and safely can be provided for patients.
