Relevance – Transducer developed for this application: Lightweight. Requires much smaller fixation force than BC. More convenient to use. – CC can benefit patients with fibrotic aural atresia. Fibrotic tissue connected to ossicles provides additional pathway for sound to reach cochlea via CC.

At 2.0 kHz: – No significant difference between BC and CC thresholds.

Hearing devices using CC can aid rehabilitation, particularly in patients with fibrotic aural atresia.
