Evaluation of Flexible Conductive Hearing Aids

Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Conductive hearing loss (CHL) is the most common type of hearing loss among the pediatric population. CHL occurs when sound is not properly transmitted from the external ear to the cochlea, and congenital pathologies like microtia/anotia, atresia, and absent or malformed ossicles make hearing loss permanent.

DEVICE

flexible conductive hearing aid

Eligible patients will wear hearing aids on flexible substrate and MEA (Micro epidermal actuator is a flexible material (e.g., plastics) to be placed on epidermis layer of skin for generating vibrations) on skull behind the ear or forehead. A neonatal adhesive, tape, Band-Aid or a headband will secure the aid/MEA on the skin.
