  • Objectives: The output performance of a novel semi-implantable transcutaneous bone conduction device was compared to an established percutaneous bone-anchored hearing system device using cadaver heads. The influence of actuator position, tissue growth below the actuator and mounting it on the surface or in a flattened bone bed on the performance of the implanted actuator was investigated.Materials and Methods: The percutaneous and the new transcutaneous device were sequentially implanted at two sites in five human cadaver heads: 55 mm superior-posterior to the ear canal opening (position A) and, closer to the cochlea, about 20 mm inferior-posterior to the ear canal opening behind the pinna on the mastoid (position B). The ipsi-and contralateral cochlear promontory (CP) velocity magnitude responses to percutaneous and transcutaneous stimulation were measured using laser Doppler vibrometry. In addition, the CP vibration of the transcutaneous device placed directly on the skull bone surface was compared with the placement in a flattened bone bed at a depth of about 3 mm. Finally, the influence of placing a thin silicone interposition layer under the implanted transducer was also explored.Results: The percutaneous device provided about an 11 dB higher average CP vibration level than the transcutaneous device at frequencies between 0.5 and 10 kHz. The ipsilateral CP vibration responses with stimulations at position B were on average 13 dB higher compared to stimulation at position A. The placement of the transcutaneous transducer at position B provided similar or higher average vibration magnitudes than the percutaneous transducer at position A. The 3 mm deep flattened bone bed had no significant effects on the output performance. Placing a thin silicone layer under the transcutaneous transducer had no significant influence on the output of the transcutaneous device.Conclusions: Our results using the CP vibration responses show that at frequencies above 500 Hz the new transcutaneous device at position B provides similar output levels as the percutaneous device at position A. The results also indicated that neither a bone bed for the placement of the transcutaneous transducer nor a simulated tissue growth between the actuator and the bone affect the output performance of the device.
