Benefits of bone conduction hearing aid in children with unilateral aural atresia.
Objective: To assess the hearing benefit with a unilateral bone conduction hearing aid in a cohort of children with unilateral aural atresia.
Methods: Cross-sectional case series pilot study involving 7 children (median age: 10 years, range 6-11). All patients underwent pure-tone, speech, aided sound field and aided speech audiometry and Simplified Italian Matrix Test (SIMT) with and without bone conduction hearing aid (Baha 5® CochlearTM). Cognitive abilities were assessed in 5 patients.
Results: The mean air conduction pure-tone average (PTA) of the atretic ear was 63.2 ± 6.9 dB, while the bone conduction PTA was 12.6 ± 4.7 dB. Speech discrimination score of the atretic ear was 88.6 ± 3.8 dB, while with the hearing aid it was 52.8 ± 1.9 dB. In the contralateral ear, there was no significant air-bone gap, and PTAs for air and bone conduction thresholds were within normal range (PTA ≤ 25 dB). The mean aided air conduction hearing threshold was 26.2 ± 7.97. Mean speech recognition threshold without the hearing aid was -5.1 ± 1.9 dB, and -6.0 ± 1.7 dB with the hearing aid tested with the SIMT. The mean score of the cognitive test was 46.8 ± 42.8.
Conclusions: These preliminary findings should encourage clinicians in proposing a unilateral bone conduction hearing aid in children with unilateral atresia.
期刊介绍:
Acta Otorhinolaryngologica Italica first appeared as “Annali di Laringologia Otologia e Faringologia” and was founded in 1901 by Giulio Masini.
It is the official publication of the Italian Hospital Otology Association (A.O.O.I.) and, since 1976, also of the Società Italiana di Otorinolaringoiatria e Chirurgia Cervico-Facciale (S.I.O.Ch.C.-F.).
The journal publishes original articles (clinical trials, cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional surveys, and diagnostic test assessments) of interest in the field of otorhinolaryngology as well as clinical techniques and technology (a short report of unique or original methods for surgical techniques, medical management or new devices or technology), editorials (including editorial guests – special contribution) and letters to the Editor-in-Chief.
Articles concerning science investigations and well prepared systematic reviews (including meta-analyses) on themes related to basic science, clinical otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery have high priority.
