Research summary
Bone conduction devices (BCD's) are hearing aids which are given to people with a mixed or conductive hearing loss to improve their hearing. These devices deliver sounds to the patient by sending vibrations through the skull to stimulate the hearing organ. This study is looking to see if patients with a smaller degree of mixed or conductive hearing loss than would normally be considered for a BCD also so benefit from a BCD when we compare their speech understanding with their conventional hearing aid.
