It has been long considered that air and bone are the two major mediators that conduct
sounds to the inner ear. In 2004, Hosoi found that vibration of aural cartilage, generated by …

Cartilage conduction (CC) is a form of conduction that allows a relatively loud sound to be
audible when a transducer is placed on the aural cartilage. The CC transmission …

Objective: To assess the benefits of a new type of hearing aid using cartilage conduction
(CC) in patients with severe conduction hearing loss and evaluate its potential for practical …

Cartilage conduction (CC) is a new form of sound transmission which is induced by a
transducer being placed on the aural cartilage. Although the conventional forms of sound …

Because cartilage conduction—the transmission of sound via the aural cartilage—has
different auditory pathways from well-known air and bone conduction, how the output …

Hearing improvement represents one of the may valuable outcomes in microtia and aural
atresia reconstruction surgery. Most patients with poor development in their hearing function …

Severe conductive hearing loss due to unilateral aural atresia leads to auditory and
developmental disorders, such as difficulty in hearing in challenging situations. Bone …

Clinical findings on cartilage conduction hearing aids (CCHAs) have gradually become
clear; however, few reports include a large number of cases. This study included 91 ears …

Objectives Providing hearing compensation to patients with aural atresia is considerably
challenging. Hearing aid transducers vibrating the aural cartilage (cartilage conduction; CC) …

Although hearing devices based on cartilage conduction have become more widely used in
Japan, methods for evaluating the output volume of such devices have not yet been …
