Oticon presented an unimplantable hearing aid for children based on bone conduction technology

The company specializing in the manufacture of medical hearing aids, introduced a new device for children: its main advantage is that the installation does not require surgical intervention.



We have written more than once about how bone conduction is used in modern medicine , and also indicated that the hearing aids based on this technology overwhelmingly required serious preparation for installation and operation in several stages: implanting a titanium pin, installing a processor and ".

However, in some cases, the operation may not be shown, and for children in the first place, even the legendary pioneers of BAHA offered solutions without an implant. Now there is another device under the brand Oticon .

A special sensor, which will work in tandem with a patented processor , is proposed to be mounted on a soft tape using a special connector.



Moreover, the connector is removable, and if it is convenient, it can be attached to the headgear. So that the child does not feel embarrassed, there are over 14 color options that will help individualize the device and mask it.

In this case, the sensor itself can be mounted on the back side, so that it does not catch the eye and does not cause unnecessary questions from outsiders. Bone conduction works over long distances!



Such a device can be recommended in some cases of conductive hearing loss , temporary hearing impairment caused by infections, in the complete absence of auricles with a healthy inner ear and in some other cases.
