| Popis: | A major challenge for otologists treating middle ear infection is to obtain a dry ear and optimal hearing. If the patient needs amplification and uses an air conduction hearing aid, the ear mold, occluding the ear canal, may provoke or aggravate the infection in the middle ear and thus cause otorrhoea. Continuous otorrhoea may cause cochlear damage in the long run. Bone conduction hearing aids offer an alternative for such patients. |
