Clinical performance of the Osia™ system, a new active osseointegrated implant system. Results from a prospective clinical investigation.

Bone-conduction hearing implants are standard of care devices. Evaluation of a new active magnetic bone-conduction hearing implant: Cochlear Osia™ system. This device uses a transcutaneous connection between an external sound-processor and an osseointegrated implant that generates vibrations using a piezoelectricity-based internal bone-conduction system.

Use of remote control in the intraoperative telemetry of cochlear implant: multicentric study.

Introduction: The conventional evaluation of neural telemetry and impedance requires the use of the computer coupled to an interface, with software that provides visualization of the stimulus and response. Recently, a remote control (CR220) was launched in the market, that allows the performance of intraoperative tests with minimal instrumentation.

Objective: To evaluate the agreement of the impedance values and neural telemetry thresholds, and the time of performance in the conventional procedure and by the remote control.

Auditory results from cochlear implants in elderly people.

Unlabelled: According to data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, the elderly population grew 47.8% in the last decade in Brazil. A portion of this population has severe and/or profound hearing loss and do not benefit from conventional hearing aids.
