Abstract
The bone anchored hearing aid (BAHATM) is an excellent alternative for patients with conductive hearing losses who are unable to wear conven-tional hearing aids. Many of these patients either have a history of chronic suppurative otitis media, which is resistant to medical or surgical therapy, or a history of recurrent otitis externa and are un-able to tolerate an earmold because it exacerbates the infection. A smaller number of patients are unable to wear a mold because of congenital or acquired atresia and wear a conventional bone conduction aid. The latter has several drawbacks, since it is difficult to wear. The constant pressure of the steel spring against the scalp, sufficient to obtain good energy transmission, produces a great deal of discomfort for the patient and can only be tolerated for short periods of time. It also has poor sound quality since the skin attenuates high frequency signals. Cosmesis is also a factor. In 1969, Br'anemark and colleagues published a report describing integration of a titanium im-plant in bone (Br'anemark et al., 1969). On the basis of this report, they developed a successful oral implant for anchoring dentures in an eden-tulous jaw (Br'anemark et al., 1977). Extra oral application of this osseointegration capability was developed by Tjellstrom in the same year, for the purposes of anchoring a hearing aid to the mas-toid bone percutaneously (Tjellstrom et al.,

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
