The bone-anchoring hearing device (BAHA) is an osseointegrated system that is used for hearing rehabilitation through direct bone conduction. The indications for the BAHA include unilateral and/or bilateral conductive or mixed hearing loss, and unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. When used for unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss, the BAHA acts as a bone conduction CROS (contralateral routing of off-side signal) device transmitting the signal from the deaf side through the skull to the contralateral cochlea. The surgical procedure to place the abutment and titanium screw is straightforward. In general, the satisfaction rate is very high for patients using the BAHA system. |
