Bone anchored hearing aid implants

Bone Anchored Hearing Systems (BAHS) help people with certain types of hearing loss by transmitting sound through the skull bone directly to the inner ear.

​

The procedure:

• Done under local or general anaesthetic

• A small titanium implant is placed into the skull bone behind the ear

• After healing (usually a few weeks), an external sound processor is attached to the implant

• The processor picks up sound vibrations and sends them through the bone to the inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear
   

The surgery usually takes about 1 hour and is often done as a day procedure. It offers a reliable hearing solution for people with conductive hearing loss, single-sided deafness, or mixed
hearing loss.
