Acerca de los estudios
Se llevó a cabo una prueba sistemática de los estudios publicados o presentados en conferencias científicas internacionales, y se incluyeron todos los estudios en los que el procesador de sonido Ponto se había comparado con otro procesador de sonido. Queríamos incluir todos los estudios presentados, independientemente de que el resultado hubiese sido positivo o negativo para nuestros objetivos. En total, encontramos diez estudios que cumpliesen dichos criterios. Los datos incluyen procesadores de sonido Ponto, Ponto Pro y Ponto Pro Power, usuarios novatos y usuarios experimentados de otras prótesis auditivas osteointegradas, así como una amplia variedad de tipos de hipoacusia.
