Audiological and subjective benefit with a new adhesive bone conduction hearing aid in children with congenital unilateral microtia and atresia.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the audiological benefits and subjective satisfaction in using a new adhesive bone conduction hearing aid in children with congenital unilateral microtia and atresia.
methodsWe evaluated the effectiveness of the hearing aid using the sound field hearing threshold, speech recognition ability under quiet and noise, and subjective questionnaires in 13 children (5-15 years old).
resultsThe mean sound field hearing threshold significantly improved with a gain of 25.4 ± 4.9 dB HL. Mean word recognition scores were ameliorated in quiet and noise by 1.9 ± 2.5% and 7.3 ± 5.3%, respectively. Speech recognition ability results in noise varied; when the speech signal and noise were presented from the front, the mean speech recognition ability improved by 2.5 ± 1.6 dB signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). When noise was presented towards the normal hearing side, speech understanding was improved by 2.9 ± 1.6 dB SNR. When the speech signal was presented from the atretic side with noise from the normal hearing side, an improvement of 5.7 ± 3.4 dB SNR (p < 0.001) was noted. However, when noise was presented towards the newly aided atretic ear, no statistical significance was found. The questionnaire results indicated that the hearing device provided benefits in speech recognition ability in different complex situations, with high satisfaction rates.
conclusionThe adhesive bone conduction hearing aid investigated here offers a concealed and aesthetic method to improve hearing in children with congenital unilateral microtia and atresia during their early years, with high subjective satisfaction.
