Bone-anchored hearing systems are implantable devices that treat hearing loss. Bone-anchored hearing systems, also known as bone-anchored auditory implants, are not to be confused with cochlear implants. While they are also a type of surgically implanted device for hearing loss, the patient indications are different. In other words, they treat different hearing problems.

Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA) is a surgically implanted device designed to help people with hearing loss problem. 

How does Baha work?
Baha is a technology that combines a sound processor with a small titanium fixture implanted behind the ear. This unique system allows the bone to transfer sound to a functioning cochlea rather than via the middle ear – a process known as direct bone conduction.

How do I know if Baha will work for me?
Only your doctor, together with your audiologist, can determine if you are a good candidate for BAHA

The majority of the conventional hearing aids transmit sound through the medium of air conduction. BAHA stimulates the cochlea by transmitting the sound waves through the bones in our skull, or bone conduction, thereby bypassing the outer and middle ear. Once the cochlea receives the sound signals, the information is converted in to neural signals and transferred to the brain, where it is perceived as sound. thereby bypassing the outer and middle ear.

Advantages of BAHA:

• Direct Bone Conduction allows the recipient to hear sounds more clearly and naturally.
• Potential recipients can easily test the Baha so that they can experience the benefits before they have surgery.
• The BAHA is comfortable to wear
• The BAHA is in use by thousands of individuals around the world.
• The BAHA procedure is reversible and does not damage or harm residual hearing.
