“…Studies have shown increased speech intelligibility and improved subjective patient satisfaction ratings. 7 There is still debate regarding the optimum time for processor loading; a balance between ensuring osseointegration has occurred and minimising the patient's wait to use the bone-anchored hearing system has to be made. There appears to be little difference in the risk of osseointegration failure for those patients loaded at less than 6 weeks or more than 12 weeks, or even at 4 weeks post-operatively.…”

Objective: The loading of bone-anchored hearing system sound processors usually occurs two to three months after surgical implant. This study examined a new bone-anchored hearing system coupling mechanism that permits loading at two weeks post-implantation without compromising osseointegration. Methods: Twenty implants were implanted into 15 patients. The interval between operation and time of processor loading was recorded, along with the cause of any delay and any late complications. Results: Two patients were fitted with implants at seven and nine weeks. The delay was a result of administrative errors; the patients reported no skin problems. Of the remaining 17 implants, 8 processors were fitted at 2 weeks, 1 at 3 weeks, 4 at 4 weeks, 3 at 7 weeks and 1 at 8 weeks. For those nine implants fitted later than two weeks, the delay was because of incomplete skin healing. Conclusion: The Oticon Medical Xpress system allowed processor loading at two weeks post-operatively, providing skin healing was adequate. Early loading occurred in approximately half of the patients. All patients were fitted within the two to three months traditionally allowed. Prolonged skin healing time was the main reason for the delayed fitting of sound processors.

“…2 The implantable bone-conduction system consists of three parts: the implant, the abutment and the sound processor. 5 For example, the Divino ® BAHA sound processor, launched in 2005, had some digital technology but it was not programmable. This becomes firmly anchored in the bone by a process of osseointegration.…”

“…5 Differences in speech perception, sound quality, wind noise, auditory feedback suppression and overall participant preference were assessed using the Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile questionnaire and the Nordic Co-operation on Disability hearing aid questionnaire. Olsen et al conducted a cross-over study, in which 12 new BAHA users with a conductive or mixed hearing loss trialled both a BP100 and a Ponto Pro sound processor.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to translate the Glasgow Benefit Hearing Aid Profile (GHABP) to Swedish, and to analyze its validity and reliability in patients undergoing rehabilitation with surgery or hearing aids. Methods:The GHABP was translated to Swedish following published guidelines.One version of the questionnaire was adapted to fit the surgical intervention. A modification was made to the questionnaire by removing the answer option "not applicable" (N/A) since it was found confusing by the subjects. A prospective multicenter cohort study was performed to validate the questionnaire. One hundred and twentythree individuals diagnosed with otosclerosis were included in the study prior to the intervention. The individuals were divided into three groups based on the intervention and previous hearing aid experience. Pure tone audiometry was performed 1 month prior and 1 year after the intervention. The Swedish version of the GHABP was completed by the individuals prior to the intervention, as well as 6 and 12 months after the intervention. Validity and reliability were assessed. Results:The Swedish versions of the GHABP were well accepted by the included individuals. The questionnaires showed good psychometric properties, with comparable results for the two different interventions and three separate intervention groups.Initial disability was more pronounced in more challenging listening situations. Disability was reduced after the intervention. The "Use," "Benefit," and "Satisfaction" domains demonstrated beneficial results; however, a ceiling effect was noted in the same domains. The reliability was overall very high. Conclusion:The Swedish version of the GHABP had good psychometric properties, with high validity and reliability. The same outcomes were found for the hearing aid and surgery groups. A ceiling effect was observed that can affect the questionnaire's ability to distinguish between subjects and measures over time.

Comparison of two bone anchored hearing instruments: BP100 and Ponto Pro

Abstract: 67% of the subjects opted for permanent use of the Ponto Pro, which, compared to the BP100, was rated to have a nicer look, to be easier to operate, and to yield better speech intelligibility.
