Abstract The CochlearTM Osia ® 2 is an active transcutaneous implant designed to treat patients with different types of hearing loss. Due its size, implantation needs appropriate practice since the necessity extended flap creation and bone work can be issue in some cases. goal our study was determine whether fixation OSI200 necessary for performance conductive or mild mixed vibroacoustic system, without BI300 fixation, evaluated through tests conducted on a head model. In addition, three underwent surgery using modified minimally invasive subperiosteal pocket technique; placed tight fixing it implant. To evaluate audiological non-fixated we compared preoperative unaided pure tone suprathreshold testing Baha 5 sound processor system aided thresholds. Initial results indicate that omitting does not significantly impair function system. findings clinical assessment support fact performed better than Softband, both tests. According results, have found utilizing method implanting may viable option. This approach has shown promising terms improving ability minimalization related complications.
