Bone conduction hearing: A wide world of options

This lunch and learn presentation, held by the Covenant Health Research Centre, is about the current state of bone conduction options, the best treatment practices available today, areas of ongoing research and where bone conduction hearing is likely headed. There has been a steady increase in awareness of, and treatment options for, people who cannot wear conventional air conduction hearing aids. The Institute for Reconstructive Sciences in Medicine (iRSM) bone conduction program, housed in the Misericordia Community Hospital, is one of the largest in the world. The field of bone conduction hearing has matured considerably over the past 30 years, from little boxes with trim pots to adjust and the aided audiogram as a primary outcome to vibrators implanted under the skin with objective prescription and verification approaches. Learn more about the iRSM at https://www.covenanthealth.ca/about/c... This talk covers the current state of bone conduction options and best treatment practices available today. We will also cover areas of ongoing research and the future of the field. Originally presented: November 22, 2024 Presenter: Bill Hodgetts, PhD is a professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Alberta. He holds a joint appointment at the iRSM where he is Program Director for audiology and bone conduction amplification (BCA). He obtained his B.A. (Psychology) and M.Sc. (Audiology) from the Western University and his Ph.D. (Rehab Sciences) from the University of Alberta. Bill teaches Audiology/Hearing Science at the U of A. His primary research focuses on the assessment, prescription, verification and validation of bone conduction devices with a goal of improving outcomes for BCA users and transferring knowledge to other clinicians involved in BCA. He also does work to better understand the reasons, psychological considerations and pathways that might lead to better uptake, adherence and outcomes for hearing healthcare. 9:50 History of bone conduction 14:00 Assessment, prescription, verification and validation of Bone Conduction Amplification Devices 27:22 Bridging the gap between research and clinic: knowledge-to-action 38:11 Bone Conduction Devices (BCDs) 41:49 Skin Drive vs. Direct Drive Devices 43:50 Patient Education is fundamental to success 49:00 Prescribing: Device choice from spec sheets (fitting ranges) 55:00 Q&A ✅ Covenant Health Research Centre: https://www.covenanthealth.ca/about/c... ✅ More Covenant Health events: https://www.covenanthealth.ca/events
