The aim of this study is to investigate the cost, functional benefits, and impact on the quality of life of using bone-anchored hearing devices in chronic otitis media patients
Hearing loss is a significant disability that disrupts an individual's communication with others and can have a profound impact on their social life and career. It can lead to social isolation, depression, anxiety, and even early dementia. Chronic otitis is one of the most important ear diseases that can cause hearing loss. Its treatment is surgical, but sometimes even after surgery, hearing rehabilitation is needed. In such cases, the first option is the use of hearing aids. Some patients may be unable to use hearing aids due to excessive ear canal clearance, recurrent ear infections, or outer ear canal problems. In such cases, bone-anchored hearing devices emerge as the most logical option, although they are more costly compared to regular hearing aids. The aim of this study is to investigate the cost, functional benefits, and impact on the quality of life of using bone-anchored hearing devices in the context of our country
