The Osia system yielded larger audiological gain than the Baha Attract and Bonebridge devices, especially at high frequencies, leading to substantially higher compliance. The Osia system tended to have the strongest tolerance to aggravated bone conduction thresholds among the available transcutaneous bone conduction hearing implants. Therefore, the Osia system could potentially be a good option for CHL/MHL patients with bone conduction thresholds of 50 dB HL or more, as well as patients with SSD.
