Aims 1 and 2:
Adult English speaking patients who are experienced users of Bone Anchored Implants (BAIs) for the indication of either single sided deafness or conductive hearing loss.
Experienced will be defined as greater than 6 months of device use and no intermittent function of the device within 2 weeks of enrollment.
Subjects will be limited to those who have normal hearing by bone conduction defined as a pure tone average of 25 dBHL or better at 500, 1000, 2000, \& 3000 Hz in at least one ear.
Aim 3:
English speaking children 5 to 17 years of age and their primary guardian who present to the clinic for treatment by BAI on a headband device for the indications of single sided deafness or conductive hearing loss.
Subjects will be limited to those who have no prior use of a BAI or bone conduction hearing device, normal hearing by bone conduction defined as a pure tone average of 25 dBHL or better at 500, 1000, 2000, \& 3000 Hz in at least one ear. For those children where this cannot be definitively established, children will be included who display clinical signs of normal bone conduction hearing beyond a reasonable doubt and may include such evidence as (but not limited to): auditory brainstem response, speech awareness thresholds, visual reinforcement audiometry, conditioning play audiometry, CT scans, etc.)
Aim 3 a \& b:
Pediatric bilateral or unilateral conductive hearing loss patients who are between the ages of 2 and 17 years of age
Pediatric participants who are currently managed by the University of Miami with a bone conduction device attached to a softband.
