Placement of the Baha osseointegrated implant in children

The Baha osseointegrated implant provides bone-conducted hearing for children with significant conductive, mixed, or unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. The Baha system utilizes bone conduction through the skull to augment hearing. The transcutaneous Baha implant is screwed into the skull behind the ear and the sound processor attaches to the implant via a snap coupling. The system has revolutionized the rehabilitation of hearing loss associated with atresia.
