Tooth bone conduction technology breaks through cost bottlenecks! "Made in Pudong" benefits more individuals with unilateral hearing loss and conductive hearing loss
Recently, a high-performance medical grade bone conduction hearing solution specifically designed for unilateral deafness and conductive deafness - Dental bone conduction hearing system listening ® The series of new products has been launched, with a market price of less than 20000 RMB, in addition to non-invasive, invisible, and efficient product performance, further reducing the cost of use for hearing-impaired individuals. Clinical studies have shown that the hearing effect of dental bone conduction is better than that of surgical implanted bone anchor hearing aids, with an average price of about 120000 RMB. This time, the price of the dental bone conduction new product is only one sixth of it.
The launch of Pinling also means that the globally innovative dental bone conduction system has seen a leap in value in clinical efficacy, product experience, and cost-effectiveness, becoming a choice for more individuals with unilateral and conductive hearing loss. It also provides a crucial tool for clinical doctors and audiologists to reconstruct hearing loss caused by diseases in patients.
It is understood that the dental bone conduction hearing technology originated from Silicon Valley in the United States and was once selected as one of the "Top 10 Medical Innovations in the United States" by the top Cleveland hospitals in the United States. Shengtuo Medical, located in Zhangjiang, Pudong, fully utilizes the advantages of China's supply chain. While continuously upgrading technology, it significantly optimizes production costs, making this innovative hearing technology with over a hundred global invention patents benefit more and more hearing-impaired people.
At present, solutions for hearing loss include bone conduction hearing devices, air guided hearing aids, cochlear implants, surgery or clinical drug treatment, etc. Bone conduction hearing devices transmit sound vibrations through the skull, bypassing the outer and middle ears, and directly to the inner ear. Bone conduction hearing devices are divided into two types: "direct bone conduction" and "percutaneous bone conduction". The latter, due to the absorption and attenuation of sound vibrations by the skin and soft tissues, results in a loss of 15 to 20 decibels of high-frequency signals crucial for speech recognition and directional discrimination. However, "direct bone conduction" does not attenuate sound conduction energy, and its hearing effect is significantly better than "percutaneous bone conduction". Patients with conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and unilateral hearing loss are suitable for bone conduction hearing devices, and traditional air guided hearing aids are not suitable or have poor effectiveness. Conductive hearing loss is mainly caused by congenital external auditory canal atresia, cholesteatoma, and various middle ear diseases; Unilateral deafness is mainly caused by sudden deafness, acoustic neuroma, and congenital unilateral deafness.
The dental bone conduction technology achieves "direct bone conduction" in a non-invasive, concealed, and comfortable manner. The receiver unit collects sound and digitizes it using special algorithms, wirelessly transmitting it to the transducer unit. The latter uses patented piezoelectric ceramic technology to convert the sound signal into precise sound vibrations. These precise sound vibrations are transmitted non destructively through the teeth skull cochlea, completely bypassing the outer and middle ears, with no absorption or attenuation of skin and soft tissue between them. Hearing impaired individuals can hear clearer and more natural sounds. Meanwhile, the teeth themselves hardly feel any vibration. Clinical studies led by clinical audiologists from Stanford University in the United States and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom have shown that dental bone conduction hearing is more effective than surgical implantation of bone anchor hearing aids.

It is understood that the newly launched Pinling is specially designed according to the actual needs of Chinese hearing-impaired people. While maintaining non-invasive, invisible, and efficient dental bone conduction technology, it has upgraded its three core advantages of intelligent listening, automatic matching, and portable charging. During use, the Pinling adopts a portable charging case and lightning fast charging design. After each charge, the Pinling has a battery life of 8 hours. The portable charging case provides an additional three charges, with a total battery life of up to 32 hours, completely eliminating range anxiety.
In addition, the advanced environment adaptation algorithm carried by Pinling will reduce noise and optimize sound quality processing based on four environmental modes: quiet environment, noisy environment, outdoor environment, and music listening, improving speech recognition rate. Meanwhile, the bone guided in situ listening function developed by Shengtuo Medical supports in situ listening, dental bone hearing threshold testing, remote debugging, and volume adjustment. In clinical trials, 70% -80% of users are perfectly matched upon their first fitting.
At present, Shengtuo Medical has completed product training in the otolaryngology or neurosurgery departments of dozens of tertiary hospitals across the country, and has also signed independent hearing centers covering major cities across the country. In addition, patients can also make an appointment to listen through the official official account of Shengtuo Medical.
It is worth mentioning that the dental bone conduction hearing system has also been approved by the US FDA and the EU CE, and is about to enter the international market. At present, Shengtuo Medical has over 100 global invention/utility model patents, covering 22 countries and regions such as China, the European Union, the United States, and Japan. It continues to develop and produce medical grade, high-quality non-invasive bone conduction hearing devices for adults and children with hearing disabilities worldwide.
