The treatment involves esthetic and functional aspects. Regarding the functional treatment, there are surgical and nonsurgical alternatives like spectacle frames and rigid and softband systems. Active transcutaneous bone conduction implants (BCIs) achieve good sound transmission and directly stimulate the bone.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objective\u2003To assess the audiological performance and subjective satisfaction of children implanted with an active transcutaneous BCI for more than one year and to compare the outcomes with a nonsurgical adhesive bone conduction device (aBCD) in the same users.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003The present is a prospective, multicentric study. The audiological performance was evaluated at 1, 6, and 12 months postactivation, and after a 1-month trial with the nonsurgical device.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Ten patients completed all tests. The 4-frequency pure-tone average (4PTA) in the unaided condition was of 65\u2009dB HL, which improved significantly to 20\u2009dB HL after using the BCI for 12 months. The speech recognition in quiet in the unaided condition was of 33% on average, which improved significantly, to 99% with the BCI, and to 91% with the aBCD.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The aBCD demonstrated sufficient hearing improvement and subjective satisfaction; thus, it is a good solution for hearing rehabilitation if surgery is not desired or not possible. If surgery is an option, the BCI is the superior device in terms of hearing outcomes, particularly background noise and subjective satisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1777416","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]],"date-time":"2024-03-11T23:59:35Z","timestamp":1710201575000},"page":"e332-e338","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Active Bone Conduction Implant and Adhesive Bone Conduction Device: A Comparison of Audiological Performance and Subjective Satisfaction"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Maria Fernanda","family":"Di Gregorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otoneurology, Sanatorio Allende, Nueva C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Der","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Hospital Dr. Luis Calvo Mackenna, Providencia, Santiago, Chile"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Bravo-Torres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Audiology, Hospital Dr. Luis Calvo Mackenna, Providencia, Santiago, Chile"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4288-2809","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario Emilio","family":"Zernotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ENT, Sanatorio Allende, Nueva C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"},{"name":"Speech Therapy School, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Universidad Nacional de C\u00f3rdoba, C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"501","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-008-0783-9","article-title":"Congenital auditory meatal atresia: a numerical review","volume":"266","author":"M A El-Begermy","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5772\/61845","volume-title":"F.
