ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

To evaluate and compare audiological outcomes of atresiaplasty and Bonebridge (BB) implantation in patients with unilateral congenital aural atresia (UCAA), to guide clinical decision-making.

METHODS:

Twenty-seven subjects diagnosed with UCAA were included in the study. Thirteen were implanted with the BB, while 14 undergone atresiaplasty. All patients underwent pre-and post-surgery examinations, including pure-tone audiometry, sound field threshold (SFT), speech reception threshold (SRT), word recognition score (WRS), and horizontal sound source localization tests.

RESULTS:

(1) Postoperatively, the average SFT decreased by 11.79 ± 5.93 dB HL in the atresiaplasty group and by 24.46 ± 9.36 dB HL in the BB group, with a significantly greater decrease in the BB group compared to the atresiaplasty group (P < 0.05). (2) Both groups demonstrated a significant improvement in average disyllabic WRS postoperatively under normal ear-masking conditions, with the BB group showing a significantly higher improvement than the atresiaplasty group. (3) When the speech signal was presented from the CAA side with noise from the normal hearing side, both surgical groups exhibited a significant decrease in postoperative signal-to-noise ratio compared to preoperative levels, with improvements of 2.14 ± 2.95 dB SNR in the atresiaplasty group and 4.92 ± 5.83 dB SNR in the BB group (P < 0.05). (4) The average minimum audible angle preoperative in the atresiaplasty group was 29.71 ± 18.42°, which decreased to 18.1 ± 10.07° at 6 months postoperatively, showing a statistically significant improvement (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

We concluded that both atresiaplasty and Bonebridge implantation can significantly improve speech perception under both quiet and noisy conditions in children with UCAA. BoneBridge implantation appears to provide better audiological outcomes than atresiaplasty. Atresiaplasty can significantly improve the accuracy of sound localization. No significant improvement in sound localization accuracy was observed in the short period after Bonebridge implantation. Further research should be conducted with a larger sample size and longer follow-up time.
