A functional and anatomical comparison between two passive transcutaneous bone conduction implants in children
International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Mar 30, 2018
Giannantonio S, et al. - Researchers compared the functional outcomes of 2 passive transcutaneous bone conduction implant systems (Sophono and BAHA Attract) in patients affected by bilateral conductive hearing loss, underwent unilateral transcutaneous bone conduction implant surgery. Taking into account the lower thickness of the internal magnet, more suitability of the Sophono system for younger children was noted, whereas BAHA offered better functional results. For the functional rehabilitation of conductive hearing loss in children, both the systems could be considered valid and safe options, provided that precautions such as a gradual use of the device and use of the least powerful magnets in the first months after the activation were observed.
