As demonstrated in the literature, the VSB as an active device offers an effective alternative for patients with various middle ear pathologies, particularly with mixed hearing loss and failed previous tympanoplasties when classical ossiculoplasty could not provide enough functional gain. This new strategy in hearing rehabilitation has led to an improved quality of hearing and life. Laryngoscope, 126:1451-1457, 2016.

“…Such referral had the objective of assessing the surgical possibilities to reconstruct the ear or to adapt bone anchored HA, as such options were not available in the services where this study was performed. Literature indicates that the conduct of surgical reconstruction is frequent, although it does not always guarantee good prognosis results (23) . In some cases, the use of HA is necessary as normal hearing is hardly obtained even after the surgical reconstruction (10) .…”

“…Still on the topic of ear-related malformations, bone anchored hearing devices such as the Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) may also be a good alternative (23) . It's necessary to discard all the adaptation possibilities of airway HA and thus, the investigation of the anatomical conditions of the external ear becomes more relevant.…”

Purpose To describe the audiological characteristics and the type of intervention chosen on unilateral hearing loss cases in children and adolescents as well as to analyze correlations between the degree of hearing loss, the indication and the use of electronic devices. Methods Observational, descriptive and retrospective study, carried out with information of 34 medical records from children and adolescents with unilateral hearing loss, assessed by two auditory rehabilitation services of medium complexity, throughout 2016 to 2019. Descriptive and Inferential statistical analysis were performed with the data. Results A predominance of profound sensorineural unilateral hearing loss in the right ear, of pre-lingual character, with 20.6% of malformations. The most adopted intervention was the hearing aid indication, although its use is low, regardless of the degree of the hearing loss. An association was found between the degree of the hearing loss and the healthcare professionals in indicating the use of the devices. Conclusion The indication of hearing aids is the most frequent and this decision is influenced by the degree of the hearing loss, in which the devices are mostly indicated for mild to severe losses, with bigger divergence of conduct for profound hearing losses.
