Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to improve the benefits of cartilage conduction hearing aids for commercial use, the factors which influence the efficacy of the sound transmission were investigated. As a result, the properties of the transducer, such as size, weight, and shape, influenced the transmission. To prevent the reduction of speech recognition scores due to the frequency specificity change during the transmission, the adjustment of the frequency specificity is necessary and effective. Regarding the fixation style, no difference in functional gains was observed between insertion into the cavity and fixation with a double side tape. Considering the obtained results, hearing aids and fitting methods were improved, and more than 95% of subjects wanted to continue cartilage conduction hearing aids. Based the results, we applied to PMDA, and obtained an approval. Cartilage conduction hearing aids were released in November, 2017.
