Hearing Aid, Air Conduction, Transcutaneous System

- Definition
- The transcutaneous air conduction hearing aid system is a wearable sound-amplifying device that is intended to compensate for impaired hearing. It consists of an air conduction hearing aid attached to a surgically fitted tube system. The tube creates an air channel through the soft tissue between outer ear canal and the post-auricular region of the pinna (ear). The air conduction hearing aid attaches to the post-auricular opening of the tube, thereby transmiting amplified sound to the ear canal without occluding the canal.

CFR § 874.3950 Transcutaneous air conduction hearing aid system
§ 874.3950 Transcutaneous air conduction hearing aid system.
(a) Identification. A transcutaneous air conduction hearing aid system is a wearable sound-amplifying device intended to compensate for impaired hearing without occluding the ear canal. The device consists of an air conduction hearing aid attached to a surgically fitted tube system, which is placed through soft tissue between the post auricular region and the outer ear canal. A transcutaneous air conduction hearing aid system is subject to the requirements in § 801.422 of this chapter.
(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Transcutaneous Air Conduction Hearing Aid System (TACHAS); Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 874.1 for the availability of this guidance document.
