    Sammanfattning : The most logical solution if a person has a hearing impairment on both ears, seems to be bilateral bearing aid amplification in both ears. Numerous studies have shown the advantages of this fitting strategy.

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND: The technique for applying bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHAs) by the use of osseointegration is today widely established for both adults and children. The BAHA concept is suitable for patients with recurrent ear infections or car malformations who cannot use conventional hearing aids, which are placed altogether or partially in the ear canal.

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bone conducted sound; Cochlear vibration; Hearing perception; Bone conduction implant;

    Sammanfattning : For patients who are rehabilitated with bone conduction (BC) hearing aids, the position on the skull of the hearing aid is critical for the perception of the sound. The aim of this work was to describe the vibration of the cochlea from BC sound stimulation at different positions on the skull. LÄS MER
