MIXED HEARING LOSS
Hearing rehabilitation through direct bone conduction is a well-established method to overcome bilateral conductive and mixed hearing loss, as well as unilateral conductive and mixed hearing loss and single-sided deafness (Previously, Dun et al. (This study compares stability, survival, and soft tissue reactions for the wide-diameter implant with abutment (test) and the previous-generation small-diameter BAHI (control) and aims to ascertain the safety of loading 3 weeks after surgery at a long-term follow-up of 10 years. Thereby, this study is the first to report such extreme long-term results of this wide-diameter implant-abutment combination.
