The wearing and utilization status of the CC-HA and its progress to date were evaluated. In addition, 33 participants who purchased the CC-HAs were interviewed to assess the wearing effect. Eleven of seventeen children with bilateral hearing loss and 25 of 32 children with unilateral hearing loss continued to use the CC-HAs. In terms of wearing effect, a good wearing effect was reported, even by those with unilateral hearing loss. In cases where it was difficult to wear CC-HAs stably with pasting or ear tips, it was possible to fix them stably using commercially available hair bands and eyeglass vines. In two cases, the CC-HAs were worn from infancy. With ingenuity and appropriate educational and medical support, it is possible to wear CC-HAs from infancy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/audiolres13060076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,6]],"date-time":"2023-11-06T13:24:53Z","timestamp":1699277093000},"page":"871-888","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Management of Cartilage Conduction Hearing Aids in Pediatric Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Satomi","family":"Yakawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Sugiuchi Clinic, 2-7-4 Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-0035, Japan"},{"name":"Kotoba no Mori\u2014Child Development Support and After-School Daycare Facility, 2-7-4-2F Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-0035, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomoko","family":"Sugiuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Sugiuchi Clinic, 2-7-4 Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-0035, Japan"},{"name":"Kotoba no Mori\u2014Child Development Support and After-School Daycare Facility, 2-7-4-2F Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-0035, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Kanto Rosai Hospital, 1-1 Kizukisumiyoshi-cho, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki-shi 211-8510, Kanagawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rika","family":"Myojin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Sugiuchi Clinic, 2-7-4 Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-0035, Japan"},{"name":"Kotoba no Mori\u2014Child Development Support and After-School Daycare Facility, 2-7-4-2F Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-0035, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kiyoko","family":"Sato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kotoba no Mori\u2014Child Development Support and After-School Daycare Facility, 2-7-4-2F Jiyugaoka, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 152-0035, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Faculty of Health and Welfare, Prefectural University of Hiroshima, 1-1 Gakuen-cho, Mihara-shi 723-0053, Hiroshima, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takako","family":"Murakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kawasaki City Central Rehabilitation Centre, 3-16-1 Ida, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki-shi 211-0035, Kanagawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuki","family":"Miyoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Kanto Rosai Hospital, 1-1 Kizukisumiyoshi-cho, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki-shi 211-8510, Kanagawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuichiro","family":"Sugio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Kanto Rosai Hospital, 1-1 Kizukisumiyoshi-cho, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki-shi 211-8510, Kanagawa, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1959","DOI":"10.1121\/1.4868372","article-title":"Cartilage conduction hearing","volume":"135","author":"Shimokura","year":"2014","journal-title":"J.
