Abstract
Bu çalışmada Uludağ Üniversitesi’ndeki Kemiğe İmplante Edilen İşitme Cihazı (BAHA – “Bone Anchored Hearing Aid”) deneyiminin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. BAHA uygulanan ve bir yıllık takipleri tamamlanan 4 hasta geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Hastaların bir tanesi pediatrik yaş grubunda ve dış kulak yolu atrezisi nedeniyle opere edilirken, diğer üç hasta erişkin ve kronik otitis media nedeniyle opere edilmişlerdir. Hastaların preoperatif hava iletim eşiği 60 ± 5 dB, kemik iletim eşiği 13± 9 dB’ydi. BAHA’lı serbest saha ortalaması ise 17±9 dB’ydi. Hastaların bir yıllık takipleri sonucu sadece bir hastada minör cilt komplikasyonu gelişmiştir. Hasta memnuniyeti ise üst düzeyde bulunmuştur. Hasta sayısı az olmakla birlikte elde edilen BAHA sonuçları gelecek için umut vericidir.
The aim of the present study was to study the experience with Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) in Uludağ University. Four patients who underwent BAHA surgery and completed one year of follow-up were analyzed retrospectively. One of the patients was in pediatric age group and operated due to aural atresia, remaining three patients were adult and operated due to chronic otitis media. Preoperative air conduction level was 60 ± 5 dB and bone conduction threshold was 13± 9 dB. Postoperative soundfield BAHA threshold was 17±9 dB. In one year of follow-up only a minor skin reaction was encountered. Patients were highly satisfied with their BAHA. Although the number of patients was low, the results of the BAHA were encouraging.
