The Bonebridge (BB) was the first active transcutaneous implantation system for bone conduction. The main indications are conductive or mixed hearing loss and single-sided deafness. Treacher-Collins syndrome (TCS) is a rare genetic disease that affects craniofacial development. The disorder results in deformations of facial structure including ear malformations, especially microtia and ear canal atresia. These patients suffer from conductive hearing loss. CT scans often show unfavorable temporal bone anatomy making placement of an implant difficult. For implantable hearing rehabilitation, patients may decide for conduction implants, such as a BAHA, a Ponto, a Vibrant Soundbridge, or a Bonebridge. In this case report, we present 2 patients with TCS implanted with the Bonebridge system, their audiological results, and quality of life.
