Long-term results for the Xomed Audiant Bone Conductor.
The Audiant Bone Conductor is now used worldwide. Results consistently demonstrate that when used on patients within the recommended criteria, hearing thresholds are improved to within 10 dB of the preoperative bone conduction threshold. In this article, comparisons are made with the reported results of the Audiant versus other comparable bone conduction devices, or with surgical procedures for conditions such as congenital aural atresia.
