Audiological Performance, Complications, and Compliance of the ADHEAR Bone Conduction Device in a Paediatric Patient Cohort
For congenital malformation and chronic suppurative otitis media patients, the ADHEAR provides effective amplification, although air-bone gap closure is suboptimal. Complications associated with device use were relatively rare and mild in nature. Compliance rates were notably lower than observed in other studies. Appearance and social stigmatization issues should be addressed during consultation.
