Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: * Uncontrolled diabetes as judged by the investigator. * Condition that could jeopardise osseointegration and/or wound healing (e.g. osteoporosis, psoriasis, long-term systemic use of corticosteroids) or condition that may have an impact on the outcome of the investigation as judged by the investigator. * Insufficient bone quality and quantity for implantation of a BI300 Implant. * Subject that has received radiotherapy in the area of implantation, or is planned for such radiotherapy during the study period. * Use of ototoxic drugs that could be harmful to the hearing, as judged by the investigator. * Unable to follow investigational procedures, e.g. to complete quality of life scales. * Participation in another clinical investigation with pharmaceutical and/or device. * The subject is pregnant or lactating * The subject suffers from psychiatric and/or psychomatic disorder(s)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary objective: 1) To compare hearing performance with the Investigational device and the unaided hearing situation Primary outcome measure: 1) Thresholds audiometry, free-field [PTA4, Mean of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz]. Investigational device (at 3 months) vs. Unaided. 2) Adaptive speech in noise [speech-to-noise ratio, 50% speech understanding]. Investigational Device (at 3 months) vs.Unaided (preoperative). Safety objectives: Primary safety analysis at 6 months. 1) Implant site evaluations 2) Adverse Events and concomitant medication/treatment 3) Device deficiency 4) Audiogram Safety outcome measures: 1) Numbness 2) Information will be collected from visit 2 and onwards. 3) Information will be collected from Visit 2 and onwards. 4) Bone conduction thresholds preoperative and postoperative (3,6 and 12 months) | — |
