Non-medical bone-conduction devices for management of glue-ear: performance characteristics and the effect of contact force
Non-medical bone-conduction devices for management of glue-ear: performance characteristics and the effect of contact force
Some children with otitis media with effusion (OME) are using low-cost bone-conduction (BC)headsets to improve speech intelligibility in classrooms or for use with personal listening devices. The poster presents results on three aspects of the “Hear Glue Ear” device, which comprises a BC headset paired with a blue-tooth microphone. These are:1. The frequency and amplitude responses of the bone-vibrator force as measured on an artificial mastoid,2. The airborne sound emitted from device as measured using an acoustic mannequin,3. The effect of the contact force between the BC transducer and the skull on the speech intelligibility in participants with simulated conducted hearing losses.

Abstract
Some children with otitis media with effusion (OME) are using low-cost bone-conduction (BC)headsets to improve speech intelligibility in classrooms or for use with personal listening devices. The poster presents results on three aspects of the “Hear Glue Ear” device, which comprises a BC headset paired with a blue-tooth microphone. These are:1. The frequency and amplitude responses of the bone-vibrator force as measured on an artificial mastoid,2. The airborne sound emitted from device as measured using an acoustic mannequin,3. The effect of the contact force between the BC transducer and the skull on the speech intelligibility in participants with simulated conducted hearing losses.
