Objective: Conductive hearing loss effects quality of life in adults and children. BAHA is a treatment option. The aim of this study is to determine the audiological success and quality of life impact of BAHA in patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss.
Material and Method: Patients rehabilitated with BAHA for conductive or mixed type hearing loss in Cukurova University between 2005 and 2013 were included in the study. The etiology was chronic suppurative otitis media or external auditory canal atresia. The sum of the patients was 23. Pure tone audiometry and free field audiometry were used for audiological evaluation. Functional gain was calculated by extraction of postoperative hearing threshold from preoperative air threshold. Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) and International Outcome Inventory for Hearing Aids Turkish Version (IOI-HA-TR) were used for quality of life evaluation.
Results: The sum of the patients was 23. Functional gain of patients with bone anchored hearing aid was 31,3 dB at 500 Hz. 45,5 dB at 1000 Hz, 44,5 dB at 2000 Hz and 44,3 dB at 4000. GBI score of adults with BAHA was 37.6. GBI score of children with BAHA was 41.6. IOI-HA-TR results were 25.22 in patients with BAHA. Two patients had (8,7 %) had osseointegration problem.
Conclusion: BAHA is effective in rehabilitation of conductive hearing loss. It has positive effect on quality of life.
