We concluded that both atresiaplasty and Bonebridge implantation can significantly improve speech perception under both quiet and noisy conditions in children with UCAA. BoneBridge implantation appears to provide better audiological outcomes than atresiaplasty. Atresiaplasty can significantly improve the accuracy of sound localization. No significant improvement in sound localization accuracy was observed in the short period after Bonebridge implantation. Further research should be conducted with a larger sample size and longer follow-up time.
