Quick Answers

Bone-conduction hearing devices connected to skin-penetrating abutments (e.g., Oticon Medical Ponto, Cochlear BAHA) can certainly generate feedback. As expected, feedback becomes increasingly concerning with worsening degrees of cochlear hearing loss. However, the mechanisms contributing to feedback in bone-conduction hearing devices differ slightly from those in air-conduction hearing aids.

Is The Inter-Aural Attenuation By Bone Conduction Actually 0 dB?

with Bill Hodgetts, R.Aud, PhD

Bill Hodgetts answers one of the most common questions he gets from audiologists “how can you fit bilateral bone conduction devices when the inter-aural attenuation by bone conduction is 0 dB?” And, “won’t there be confusion as the two signals compete at the cochlear level?
