Comparing bone conduction hearing devices for adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study compares two types of non-surgical hearing devices that use bone conduction to help you hear. It aims to find which device works better for people with normal inner ear function but who need alternative ways to hear.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- Your hearing loss is mild or less, based on a hearing test (bone conduction threshold less than 25 dB).
- You can read and understand Swedish.
- You are willing to fill out questionnaires and follow the study procedures.
- You are not currently participating in another clinical study that could interfere.

This trial tests the maximum sound gain you can get from your bone-anchored hearing device. If you already use an Oticon Medical compatible system and have mixed hearing loss, this study will check how well your device performs.
This research study tests a new way to measure how well your middle ear (the tiny bones behind your eardrum) works using sound waves instead of traditional hearing tests. It involves three groups: people with normal hearing, people with conductive hearing loss, and people scheduled for cochlear implant surgery.
This study tests flexible hearing aids for people with conductive or mixed hearing loss (where sound is blocked or not transmitted well to the inner ear). It aims to see if these devices work well and are comfortable for daily use.
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.
This study measures how well hearing devices work and how they are best fitted at the start. It helps the company collect baseline information so future testing and fitting can be improved.
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.
