Which hearing implant packs the most punch? new study to find out
NCT ID NCT07294976
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test how much sound amplification three different bone-anchored hearing devices can provide. Twenty adults with mixed hearing loss who already use such a device will have their current device swapped and measured. The goal is to see if one device offers more usable gain than the others, which could help tailor hearing solutions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bone-anchored hearing devices (Device A, Device B, Device C)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify which bone-anchored hearing device provides the best amplification for users, potentially improving hearing aid fitting guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all users. It measures technical performance, not direct hearing improvement or long-term outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. BAHS user with an Oticon Medical compatible abutment 2. Signed Informed Consent Form 3. Adult, 18 years or older 4. MHL with pure tone average (PTA) bone conduction (BC) threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz) of 25-65dB HL on the indicated ear 5. MHL with an air-bone-gap (difference between BC and AC thresholds) of at least 15 dB measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz 6. At least 3 months of experience using a bone conduction device. 7. Fluent in Swedish to be able to read and understand patient information and informed consent process Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participation in another clinical investigation which might cause interference with study participation. 2. Subjects who do not have the ability or are unwilling to follow investigational procedures/requirements, e.g. to complete questionnaires, according to investigator's discretion.
