Abstract

Implantable bone-conduction devices are characterized by the fact that the vibration is transmitted through bone conduction. The technology and surgical techniques in the application of implantable bone-conduction devices have developed considerably in recent years, experiencing a transformation from percutaneous to transcutaneous implantation. This article reviewed current developments in the types, surgical indications, and complications, as well as compared between the various bone-conduction devices to provid references for clinical application.

植入式骨导助听设备是一类通过骨传导方式来传递声音的植入式助听装置。近年来植入式骨导助听技术飞速发展,经历了由穿皮植入向经皮植入的转变。本文就植入式骨导助听设备的类型及工作原理、适应证及并发症、各类型设备的比较等方面作一综述,为其临床应用提供理论参考。.
