Study Summary

Prospective, open label, single-arm, multi-centre investigation, designed to follow clinical practice for Sentio bone conduction devices in 50 subjects, during 10 clinical visits, and 24 months follow-up.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Signed Informed Consent Form
  2. Adult subjects (18 years or older)
  3. Subjects with 3.1. conductive or mixed hearing losses with pure tone average (PTA)bone conduction (BC) threshold (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz) of the indicated earbetter than or equal to 45 dB HL. 3.2. OR subjects who have a profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear and normalhearing in the opposite ear (i.e. SSD). The pure tone average (PTA) air conduction (AC) threshold of the hearing ear should then be better than or equal to 20 dB HL (measured at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz) 3.3. OR subjects who are indicated for anair-conduction contralateral routing of signals (ACCROS) hearing aid, but who for somereason cannot or will not use an AC CROS.
  4. Fluent in local language
  5. Subjects who have the ability and are willing to follow investigationalprocedures/requirements, e.g. to complete quality of life scales.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Inability to undergo general or local anesthesia
  2. Prior implantation with percutaneous device or middle ear implant on the side to beimplanted
  3. Known medical conditions that contraindicate undergoing surgery as judged by theinvestigator
  4. Untreated ongoing middle ear infection at the time of surgery
  5. Known insufficient bone quality/quantity/depth or skull size (scull abnormalities) forimplantation of a Sentio Ti Implant
  6. Known or suspected contact allergy to silicone or other material used in the Sentiosystem.
  7. Known condition that could jeopardize wound healing and skin condition e.g.uncontrolled diabetes over time as judged by the investigator.
  8. Known skin or scalp conditions that may preclude attachment or interfere with theusage of the sound processor.
  9. Known retro cochlear pathology and auditory processing disorders that may have animpact on the outcome of the investigation
  10. Any other known condition that the investigator determines could interfere withcompliance or investigation assessments.
  11. Use of ototoxic drugs that could be harmful to the hearing, as judged by theinvestigator.
  12. Subject that has received radiotherapy in the area of implantation or is planned forsuch radiotherapy or similar during the investigation period.
  13. For bilateral asymmetric candidates, subject already treated with a bone-anchoredhearing solution on the side with the best bone conduction thresholds
  14. Known chronic or non-revisable vestibular or balance disorder
  15. Known abnormally progressive hearing loss
  16. For conductive and mixed losses: evidence that hearing loss is retro-cochlear or ofcentral origin
  17. Participation in another clinical investigation with pharmaceuticals and/or deviceswhich might cause interference with investigation participation.
  18. Use of active implantable or body worn device that for medical reasons cannot beremoved or discontinued, such as implantable cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, orneurostimulators.
  19. Known need for frequent MRI investigations for follow-up of other diseases.
  20. Any subject that according to the Declaration of Helsinki is deemed unsuitable forinvestigation enrolment.

Study Description

The investigation is a 24-months multinational, multicentre, prospective, open label, single arm investigation on the Sentio system. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate safety and performance three months after implantation of the new Sentio system. In addition, safety will be analysed six months after implantation, and long-term safety and performance will be evaluated over a 24-month follow-up period. The endpoints chosen, together with applicable measurements, are commonly used, both in the clinical setting as well as in bone anchored hearing research as shown in the scientific literature covering this area. That is, the primary objectives of this study is to demonstrate that the Sentio system improves hearing and speech recognition on the implanted ear. Secondary objectives includes investigation of hearing improvement, speech intelligibility, patient satisfaction, and quality of life. The study also aims to evaluate the safety profile of the Sentio system in terms of the occurrence of adverse events and serious adverse events related to the device.
