Or inflammation of middle ear and external canal get worth due to using HA. 2) External ear malfomation with conductive hearing loss and mixed hearing loss, who cannot use conventional hearing aids or who are unsatisfied with them and do not achieve sufficient benefit. Corresponding to the bone conduction hearing frequencies listed as follows 1) 500Hz is under 45dB 2) 1000Hz is under 50dB 3) 2000Hz and 4000Hz are under 65dB

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The therapeutic effects are evaluated at 5 month after the middle ear implantation surgery, using the free field speech recognition threshold test. In the speech recognition threshold test with quiet, marked recovery is defined as any recovery of the maximum speech recognition score (%) by speech recognition threshold test using 67S or 57S Japanese monosyyrable word table (Japan Audiological Society 1967, 1957).
