2. Bone-anchored hearing aid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone-anchored_hearing_aid

   A sound processor behind the ear. Bone-anchored hearing aids use a surgically implanted abutment to transmit sound by direct conduction through bone to the inner ear, bypassing the external auditory canal and middle ear. A titanium prosthesis is surgically embedded into the skull with a small abutment exposed outside the skin.

3. Bone conduction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_conduction

   The microphone of the hearing aid picks up sound signals from the environment. The signal is then optimized and transmitted to the transducer, which generates vibrations. Depending on the specific bone conduction hearing aid system, the vibrations are either sent directly through the skull bone, or through the skin towards the inner ear.

4. Management of hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_of_hearing_loss

   Treatment depends on the specific cause if known as well as the extent, type, and configuration of the hearing loss. Most hearing loss results from age and noise, is progressive, and irreversible. There are currently no approved or recommended treatments to restore hearing; it is commonly managed through using hearing aids.

6. Conductive hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductive_hearing_loss

   Anatomy of the human ear. Conductive hearing loss (CHL) occurs when there is a problem transferring sound waves anywhere along the pathway through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles). If a conductive hearing loss occurs in conjunction with a sensorineural hearing loss, it is referred to as a mixed hearing loss.

7. Nonsyndromic deafness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsyndromic_deafness

   Nonsyndromic deafness is hearing loss that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. In contrast, syndromic deafness involves hearing loss that occurs with abnormalities in other parts of the body. Nonsyndromic deafness constitutes 75% of all hearing loss cases, and an estimated 100 genes are thought to be linked to this condition.
