Plain-language summary
This study, titled "The BONEBRIDGE in Children Under Five: Premarket Clinical Investigation" (Study ID 2023BB006), looks at kids under five who have received the BONEBRIDGE BCI 602 hearing implant. This observational study, which is both retrospective (looking back) and prospective (looking forward), will take place at multiple hospitals. The main goal is to see if the BONEBRIDGE implant is safe for young children within 12 months after surgery.
Primary Goal: The study's main aim is to collect all information about any bad experiences or issues related to the device and the surgery to check its safety.
Secondary Goals:
Hearing Improvement: Using tests like the Göttinger Speech Intelligibility Test (Word Recognition Scores) to see how much the hearing improves with the implant.
Treatment History: Surgeons will fill out questionnaires about how the treatment went.
Quality of Life: Parents will answer questions about their child's quality of life using the GCBI questionnaire at least 12 months after the implant.
The study will last up to 12 months, including enrolling participants and performing all necessary procedures. The target number of participants includes at least 12 sets of data for safety checks and at least 5 sets of hearing performance data.
By collecting detailed information on any problems and assessing the performance of the BONEBRIDGE implant, this study aims to determine if it is safe and effective for young children.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
