Sound-field hearing thresholds were evaluated unaided and aided (softband and abutment). A speech-in-noise test was also performed unaided and aided for two spatial configurations (S0N90; implanted side; S0N90; nonimplanted side). The Glasgow Health Status Inventory and the Speech, Spatial and Quality of sound questionnaires were administered pre- and postsurgery to compare quality of life and perceived unaided and aided performance. Skin reaction (Holgers scores) was evaluated at 15 days, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks after surgery.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Significant improvements postoperatively relative to unaided were obtained for sound-field thresholds at all tested frequencies. Additionally, sound-field thresholds were significantly improved with the sound processor on abutment relative to the softband at frequencies\u2009&gt;\u20091\u2009kHz. Improved performance postoperatively relative to unaided was also obtained in the speech-in-noise test and in self-reported outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions\u2003Improvements in behavioral performance and self-reported outcomes were obtained with the sound processor mounted on abutment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1718959","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,20]],"date-time":"2021-10-20T00:03:34Z","timestamp":1634688214000},"page":"e314-e320","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Postoperative Benefit of Bone Anchored Hearing Systems: Behavioral Performance and Self-Reported Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2437-2872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Domenico","family":"Cuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital, Piacenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5958-8086","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandra","family":"Murri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital, Piacenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4392-322X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Mochi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital, Piacenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0169-5727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Mainardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital, Piacenza, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","first-page":"304","article-title":"Osseointegrated titanium implants in the temporal bone.
