What Are Bone Conduction Implants?

Bone conduction implants are specialised hearing devices that use bone conduction to transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear.

They may be considered for selected patients whose hearing condition makes conventional hearing solutions less suitable or less effective.

Bone Conduction Hearing Solutions May Help With

• Selected types of conductive hearing loss

• Certain mixed hearing loss conditions
• Hearing conditions where conventional hearing aids may not be suitable
• Selected patients requiring an alternative hearing pathway
• Specific ear conditions requiring advanced hearing restoration

The suitability of a bone conduction implant depends on the patient's hearing condition, ear anatomy, medical history and clinical evaluation.

How Bone Conduction Implants Work

Understanding Bone Conduction Hearing

Sound Transmission

The system uses bone conduction to transmit sound vibrations through the skull.

Inner Ear Stimulation

These vibrations reach the inner ear and can stimulate the hearing structures involved in sound perception.

Hearing Support

For suitable patients, this can provide an alternative pathway for hearing compared with conventional sound transmission through the outer and middle ear.

Bone Conduction Implant Evaluation

Step 1: ENT Consultation

A detailed examination helps understand the patient's ear condition, hearing concerns and medical history.

Step 2: Hearing Assessment

Appropriate audiological testing helps determine the type and degree of hearing loss.

Step 3: Medical Evaluation

The condition of the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear is assessed along with other relevant clinical factors.

Step 4: Implant Suitability Assessment

The patient's hearing profile and individual requirements are considered to determine whether a bone conduction implant may be appropriate.

Step 5: Treatment Planning

If an implant is considered suitable, the treatment approach and available options are discussed with the patient.

Step 6: Follow-Up & Hearing Support

Regular follow-up and appropriate hearing support are important parts of the overall treatment journey.
