The CochlearTM Osia®2 System was cleared by the Food and Drug Administration November 15, 2019 (K191921) for individuals aged 12 years and older who present with conductive or mixed hearing loss (up to 55 dB HL) or single-sided-deafness (SSD). Published and unpublished data suggest significant pre to postoperative benefit and minimal risk in both children and adults who have received the Osia system. Due to the success of the Osia 2 system in the United States within the currently indicated patient population, clinical providers have since requested the ability to use the Osia 2 system in children aged 11 years and younger who meet the audiometric requirements. As the Osia 2 system is based on existing bone conduction and cochlear implant technologies which each possess a younger age of implantation requirement (5 years for bone conduction and 9 months for cochlear implantation), the current proposal is to align the age at implantation requirement with existing surgical bone conduction technology such as the Baha Connect and Baha Attract Systems to 5 years of age. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of the Cochlear Osia 2 system in a group of pediatric subjects aged 5 to 11 years who suffer from conductive or mixed hearing loss (up to 55 dB HL), or single-sided-deafness (SSD) with the intent of expanding the indications for use.
