Overview

Knowledge of bone conduction allows us to develop new, modern hearing aids. The best are bone conduction implants. There is an efficient sound transmission, improvement in the quality of life of patients, and implants are now available for children from 5 years of age. In addition to technical improvements to audio processors, there has been a significant reduction of complications.

Keywords:

bone conduction – hearing loss – implants – complications – Quality of life
