Live Untethered With Bone-Anchored Hearing Devices

Every hearing loss patient is unique, and deserves a solution that matches their need. Some patients with certain conditions like single-sided deafness or different formations of certain parts of the ear experience the most success with a bone-anchored hearing device. 

You don’t have to embark on this journey of determining what works best for you alone. At Tinnitus & Hearing Experts, we’ll support you through the process of finding the ideal hearing loss treatment plan for your individual needs. There are a lot of sounds in the world, and we want you to be able to hear as many as you can. 

How Does a Bone-Anchored Hearing Device Work? 

Bone-anchored implants allow you to hear sounds by transmitting vibrations to the inner ear. While traditional hearing aids amplify sounds that enter the ear canal, bone-anchored hearing devices bypass the ear canal and middle ear, similar to how cochlear and auditory brainstem implants work. 

Who Should Receive a Bone-Anchored Implant? 

You might be a good candidate for a bone-anchored hearing device if: 

• You have single-sided deafness. 
• You have malformations in the outer ear, middle ear or ear canal. 
• You’re allergic to traditional hearing aids. 
• You have Meniere’s disease. 
• You experience chronic middle ear infections. 
• You have cholesteatoma or growth of skin behind your eardrum. 
• You have an acoustic neuroma or a benign tumor that develops on your vestibular or auditory nerves. 

Can Children Use Bone-Anchored Hearing Devices? 

If your child has conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss or single-sided deafness, a bone-anchored implant might be a good fit for them. For younger children and those who would prefer a nonsurgical option, certain sound processors can be held in place with a band or sticker. Our provider will work with you to determine what might work best for your child. 

What Are the Benefits of a Bone-Anchored Hearing Device? 

• Because the device is directly against the bone, sound quality is often superior. 
• For those who have ears that are absent or formed differently, it can be difficult to comfortably wear a conventional hearing aid. 
• Though they require surgery, the process is minimally invasive.
