BAHA processor in patients with single-sided deafness

Project goals

BAHA implant methodology is proven safe and effective method, being used by over 50.000 patients worldwide. This is the only way of hearing rehabilitation in patients with a single sided deafness, disregarding the aetiology. The uniqueness of the BAHA system in patients with a single sided deafness consists in a transformation of sound to vibrations transmitted straight to the skull bones and than by a bone conduction into the contralateral inner ear. The project targeted to patients with a single sided deafness is aiming to a hypothesis of a rehabilitation of a binaural hearing in such patients, verification of a better understanding in a noisy environment and a resulting increase of a quality of life after BAHA implantation. Similar study on a new generation of a BAHA processor has not been published yet.

    BAHA procesor u pacientů s jednostrannou hluchotou

  • Annotation in Czech

    Použití BAHA implantátu je prokazatelně bezpečná a efektivní metoda, využívaná celosvětově více než 50 tisíci pacienty. U pacientů s jednostrannou hluchotou, nezávisle na etiologii, skýtá jedinou možnost rehabilitace sluchu. Unikátnost BAHA systému u pacientů s jednostrannou hluchotou spočívá v transformaci zvuku na vibrace přenášené přímo na kost lebky a kostním vedení přenášené do druhostranného, tedy nepostiženého, vnitřního ucha. Tento projekt zaměřený na skupinu pacientů s jednostrannou hluchotou si klade za cíl potvrdit či vyvrátit u této skupiny pacientů možnost rehabilitace binaurálního slyšení, ověřit zlepšení rozumění v hlučném prostředí a ověřit zlepšení kvality života po BAHA implantaci. Obdobná studie využívající novou generaci BAHA procesoru nebyla dosud publikována.

  • Project results evaluation

    BAHA is suitable possibility of rehabilitation od SSD patients. After the surgery the discrimination in a noise is better, in spite a hearing is pseudobinaural. HINT testing and subjective questionnaire evaluation show a positive effect.
