Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHA) |
|
Bone anchored hearing aids (BAHA) transfer sound through a bone in the skull directly into the cochlea through a 'bone-conduction' process. A small device is implanted surgically behind the ear in the skull of the recipient. A case is located externally which holds a microphone and a sound processor. This case transmits sound to the bone, which goes directly to the cochlea. One of the benefits of BAHAs is that the ear canal in the recipient remains unblocked. Recipients who may benefit from BHHA's are those that have conductive or mixed hearing loss or those who have single-sided deafness (SSD).
