| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To assess outcomes with a new transcutaneous bone conduction hearing aid. PATIENTS: Patients that underwent implantation with the transcutaneous bone conduction device between November 2013 and May 2014. INTERVENTION: Hearing rehabilitation using the BAHA Attract. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Quality of life measures using Glasgow benefit inventory (GBI) and clinically oriented scale of improvement (COSI). Audiological outcome using word discrimination score. RESULTS: Ten patients were implanted. Significant improvement in GBI and COSI scores comparing preimplantation and postimplantation. An increase in word discrimination scores at 30 dBA, with an increase from 0% unaided to a mean of 50% with the magnetic transcutaneous bone conduction aid and at 50 dBA with an increase from a mean of 31.7% to 88.3%. However, the word discrimination score increase at 30, 50, and 60 dBA was not statistically significant (p = 0.25; Wilcoxon). CONCLUSION: There was a high level of satisfaction with the device with significant increases in GBI and COSI scores in patients who were previously aided with an acoustic aid. The absence of daily skin hygiene appealed to patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
