Post-Market Registry Study for Vibrant Hearing Solutions

This observational registry collects retrospective and prospective, data from children and adults who use CE-marked MED-EL implantable (PMEI, BCI, or AMEI) or non-implantable (BCD) hearing solutions as part of routine care. Participants will be followed long term, potentially up to the lifetime of their hearing solution, to assess quality of life, hearing and speech performance, and device use. Data will be collected using routinely administered clinical tests and questionnaires to evaluate real-world outcomes across diverse populations and MED-EL hearing systems.

Comparative Study of Non-surgical Hearing Devices Based on Bone Conduction

This study will investigate the performance of four non-surgical bone conduction devices.

Evaluation of Actual Maximum Gain in Bone Anchored Devices

This study will look at how much sound amplification (gain) different bone-anchored hearing devices can provide. The goal is to understand if there are differences between devices and whether these differences affect how well the devices meet the hearing needs of users. Bone-anchored hearing systems send sound vibrations directly to the inner ear through a small implant in the skull. The amount of amplification a device can provide is important for people with hearing loss. However, the actual maximum amplification available to a user depends on feedback control during fitting and can vary between devices and individuals. In this study, the actual maximum amplification of Device A and Device B will be compared. In addition the actual maximum amplification of Device A will be compared to Device C as well as the Device B compared to Device C. It will also be investigated whether the amplification limits the prescribed settings for the users.
