A Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) is a surgically implanted hearing device. This device is most beneficial for people of all ages who cannot use an in-the-ear or behind-the-ear hearing aid because BAHA bypasses the ear to transmit sound using bone conduction. Candidates for BAHA may have conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, single-sided deafness or frequent ear infections.
Candidates for BAHA may have conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, single-sided deafness or frequent ear infections.
The device is comprised of a titanium implant, external abutment and sound processor. It is surgically placed behind the ear. After fusing gradually over several months with the skull bone, the external parts can be fit and programmed by an audiologist.
