Who it is suitable for
The BONEBRIDGE can be used for a sound conduction hearing loss or mixed hearing loss as well as in unilateral deafness.
Conductive or mixed hearing loss
- Ear malformations (e.g. atresia)
- Radical cavity
- Chronic inflammation of the middle ear
- Cholesteatoma
- Tympanosclerosis
- Large difference between bone and air conduction threshold
- No sufficient benefit from hearing aids
The BONEBRIDGE is suitable and approved for children from 5 years of age.
Active bone conduction implant
- 1
Audio processor
The audio processor is held in place by magnetic attraction over the implant. It picks up sound signals, converts them into electrical 2 signals, and sends them to the implant. - 2
Implant
The implant receives the signals and forwards them to the BC-FMT (Bone Conduction Floating Mass Transducer). - 3
BC-FMT
The BC-FMT converts the signals into mechanical vibrations and transmits them to the bone. - 4
Inner ear
The inner ear is directly stimulated by the vibrations of the bone, thus avoiding pathologies in the outer and middle ear.
