Long term cutaneous complications related to bone conduction hearing implants. A retrospective study (2004–2018)

Auris Nasus Larynx Feb 05, 2021

Hernández S, Ospina JC, Gutiérrez-Gómez E, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for establishing the frequency of cutaneous complications due to surgically implanted bone conduction hearing aids in recipients treated at a tertiary otolaryngology center. For patients who were implanted with bone conduction hearing systems between 2004 and 2018, a retrospective chart review was performed. Patients with a minimum follow up of 6 months were involved. In total, 104 devices were implanted on 88 patients with an average follow up of 4.04 (range of 0.5 - 10 years). Compared with previous studies, the frequency of skin problems in the series seemed higher. The most common were minor complications and they reacted well to topical care. No triggering factors were reported, nor did they describe the occurrence or severity of such an adverse reaction as the cause of the infection. In the majority of patients with conductive hearing devices, isolated pain was present, often without signs of active infection. Because of its high frequency, it should be tested in all implant-treated patients.
