Evaluation of the Benefits of Bilateral Fitting in BAHS Users

The patients included in this study are adult patients with a bilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss, that are already bilaterally implanted with two percutaneous bone-anchored devices (BAHS). The study consists of two visits. At visit 1, the patients are fitted unilaterally and bilaterally with the investigational device (Ponto 3 SuperPower). After fitting, the patients perform a test of spatial resolution (minimum audible angle, visit 1) and an auditory working memory test (visit 2). These two outcome measures are conducted in the laboratory using the Ponto 3 SuperPower unilaterally and bilaterally. Additionally, the patients fill in a questionnaire (SSQ12) to report perceived performance in their everyday life with their own devices. This is a post market study and all products used are CE marked and used in clinical practice worldwide.
