The new transcutaneous bone conduction implant was demonstrated to be safe and effective in adults up to 3 months of device use.

The position of the implant and the MRI sequence used determine the assessment of the IAC and the labyrinth at 3 T MRI. A position of the implant magnet at a nasion-external auditory canal angle which is more horizontal and posterior than so far commonly used allows a better visualization of the IAC and the labyrinth at 3 T.
