The Baha® system is unique in the world of hearing treatments. The Baha system utilizes Direct Bone Conduction, which allows the bone to transfer sound to a functioning cochlea – thereby bypassing the outer and middle ear. This unique hearing treatment is the first system of its kind cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat hearing loss. One reason the Baha system works so well is due to its simple design. The Baha system combines a sound processor with an abutment and a small titanium implant. The implant is placed behind the non-functioning ear. Surgery is minor, and Baha recipients report a wide range of advantages over other hearing devices. |
