Official Title: Remote Microphone Technology in Pediatric Bone Anchored Implant Recipients

Brief Summary: The purpose of this research study is to learn about the hearing outcomes of children with conductive hearing loss who are treated with bone conductive devices and their outcomes with remote microphone technology.

Detailed Summary: The purpose of this research study is to learn about the hearing outcomes of children with unilateral conductive hearing loss who are treated with bone conductive devices and their outcomes with remote microphone technology. It has been shown that the use of intervention (hearing aids, cochlear implants, bone conduction devices) alone does not alleviate the difficulties children with hearing loss encounter in noisy environments such as a classroom or restaurant. One of the most common methods to help children hear better in these types of environments is the use of a personal remote microphone (RM) system. This study will evaluate how much benefit children are getting from their bone conduction device alone compared to the bone conduction device with a personal RM system.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Speech Understanding in Noise [ Time Frame: 40 minutes ]
    Investigate benefit of remote microphone (RM) for listening in noise in children with bone conduction hearing devices by calculating SNR loss
  • Parent and Child Perception of Hearing Loss Questionnaire [ Time Frame: 20 minutes ]
    Determine the parent and child perception of the hearing loss and its impact pre- and post-evaluation using a subjective questionnaire created to further understand the child and parent's perception of their disability.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
