Om studierna
En systematisk sökning gjordes efter studier som har publicerats eller presenterats på internationella vetenskapskonferenser. och där alla studier i vilka en Ponto-processor jämförts med en processor från annan tillverkare har tagits med. Vi ville ta med alla studier som har presenterats, oavsett om resultaten var gynnsamma eller ogynnsamma för vår del. Sammanlagt hittade vi tio studier som uppfyllde dessa kriterier. Dessa data inkluderar Ponto-, Ponto Pro- och Ponto Pro Power-processorer, såväl förstagångsanvändare som erfarna användare av andra benförankrade hörselsystem samt en rad olika typer av hörselnedsättning.
