Safety of Sentio bone conduction implant in teens
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests the safety and performance of the Sentio bone conduction implant (a device that helps you hear by sending sound through the skull) in teenagers aged 12 to 17. It may be an option if you have certain types of hearing loss that cannot be helped by regular hearing aids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 17 years old.
- You have conductive or mixed hearing loss, single-sided deafness, or cannot use a standard CROS hearing aid.
- You have tried an amplified hearing device before (hearing aid, CROS, or bone conduction solution).
- You are healthy enough for ear surgery and have no active ear infections or allergies to device materials.

This study collects information from people who have or will get a Sentio bone-anchored hearing implant as part of their normal medical care. It helps doctors learn more about how well the implant works in everyday practice.
This study checks whether cochlear implants help young children (ages about 7 months to under 3 years) who have very severe hearing loss in one ear. It also compares them with similar children who do not get implants, to understand what outcomes to expect.
This study tests a cochlear implant to help adults with severe hearing loss who don't get enough benefit from hearing aids. The implant may improve hearing and speech understanding.
This study tests a structured training program (BEARS) designed to help children and teenagers who use cochlear implants in both ears hear better in everyday life. It aims to improve hearing abilities by building on your implant settings and usual care.
This study looks at whether keeping some natural (residual) hearing in the implant ear can improve outcomes with a cochlear implant. If you fit their hearing and implant-device requirements, they’ll measure your hearing before and after implantation to see how well you can use that remaining hearing.
This trial tests a bone conduction implant called the OSIA system, which bypasses the damaged outer or middle ear to send sound directly to the inner ear. It is for children with microtia or ear atresia (underdeveloped or missing ear structures) who have hearing loss but have been using a bone conduction device on a headband. The goal is to see if getting the implant on both sides improves hearing and quality of life for these children.
