Transcutaneous bone conduction devices (tBCD) seem to lead to fewer soft tissue complications than percutaneous BCDs (pBCD) but have other drawbacks such as MRI incompatibility and higher costs. Previous cost analyses have shown a cost advantage of tBCDs. The purpose of this study is to compare long-term post-implantations costs between percutaneous and transcutaneous BCDs.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Retrospective data from 77 patients implanted in a tertiary referral centre with a pBCD (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200934), tBCD (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200943; passive (t<jats:sub>pas<\/jats:sub>BCD; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200934) and active (t<jats:sub>act<\/jats:sub>BCD; <jats:italic>n\u2009<\/jats:italic>=\u20099) and a reference group who underwent cochlear implantation (CI; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200934), were included in a clinical cost analysis. Post-implantation costs were determined as the sum of consultation (medical and audiological) and additional (all post-operative care) costs.
