Bonebridge shows a higher effective gain than Baha connect in the MHL group and Baha attract in the SSD group. The usage rate of BCHIs is lower in SSD than that in MHL. In SSD subjects, the constant user group tended to show higher functional gain than the non-constant user group. Irrespective of the device type, the tendency of higher functional gain of BCHIs, especially at mid frequencies, may potentially lead to yield good compliance in SSD, mandating a meticulous fitting strategy ensuring a sufficient mid-frequency functional gain in SSD.
