Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of the trial period with a Bone Conduction Device (BCD) positioned on the mastoid using a headband?

  • To test the feasibility of binaural hearing restoration
  • To evaluate the audibility of signals from both ears
  • To determine if head-shadow effect compensation is beneficial (correct)
  • To assess the patient's tolerance for a percutaneous implant

    • Which statement is true regarding the performance of a transcutaneous BCD compared to a percutaneous BCD?

  • A transcutaneous BCD is expected to outperform a percutaneous BCD in noise
  • A transcutaneous BCD is not suitable for evaluating the benefits of a percutaneous BCD
  • A transcutaneous BCD should provide near-equivalent results to a percutaneous BCD (correct)
  • A transcutaneous BCD can restore binaural hearing better than a percutaneous BCD

    • What is a necessary condition for a BCD to fully compensate for the head-shadow effect?

  • The BCD must provide binaural hearing restoration
  • The BCD must be positioned on the mastoid using a headband
  • The BCD must be fitted on a percutaneous implant
  • The BCD must offer equivalent audibility of signals from both ears (correct)
