1. What Is The Bone Conduction Hearing Aid?
Hearing aids have come a long way over the past few years. A specialized type of hearing aid, the bone
conduction hearing aid, or BAHA, is used when people can not tolerate any type of in the ear
attachment, or are born without external ear canals. Some people who have chronic outer ear infections
find that BAHAs are the only option that allows them to heal.
If you some of these issues, you will want to explore all of
your options. You should not settle for only one option and
you may want to find out everything that is available for your
type of hearing loss. Speaking with an audiologist can give you
some great insight about your options. They can also do
further testing to help you find the right aid to help you hear
well.
If you use a hearing aid that is a BAHA, you may be required to wear a headband to keep this in place.
Bone conduction aids may also require surgery. This can be a way to have a more permanent solution.
You will want to talk to a otolaryngologic or neurotologist surgeon about the risks of this type of surgery
and also the success rates.
A bone conduction hearing aid (BAHA) may be a great way to combat specific hearing problems. Please
remember, surgery may be required, but in certain cases wearing a BAHA can change your life and help
you to feel connected again.
