1/9/2023 0 Comments Aural atresia![]() ![]() Slightly improved aided WRS was seen in the soft band cohort. Interventions included decreasing magnet strength, adding soft pads, topical and oral antibiotics, and reducing device usage.Ĭonclusions: mBAHD are effective for auditory rehabilitation in pediatric congenital aural atresia with equivalent aided gain in SRT to soft band devices. MBAHD cohort (p=0.004) with four cases of persistent pain and erythema, and two cases of pain alone limiting device use. ![]() Skin complication rate was 0% in the soft band cohort and 54.5% However, the mean (SD) aided unilateral WRS was higher in the soft band group: 83.9% versus 71.2% in the mBAHD group (p=0.023). The mean aided gain in the speech reception threshold (SRT) was similar between groups (p=0.55). Results: Age, length of follow-up (mean=28.2 months, range: 13-43 months), and bone conduction thresholds for the atretic ear were comparable between groups (p>0.05). The Cochlear™ Baha Attract system (Cochlear Americas, Centennial, CO) mBAHD (n=11) was compared to the nonsurgical softband BAHD (n=11) in terms of aided and unaided hearing thresholds, aided word recognition scores (WRS), and device related complications. Methods: Retrospective cohort study at a tertiary referral center of pediatric patients with conductive hearing loss from congenital aural atresia. Objective: To compare audiologic outcomes and skin related complications in children with aural atresia treated with non-surgical softband or transcutaneous magnet-based implantable bone anchored hearing devices (mBAHD).
