Bone conduction solutions
If you or your child have conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss or are deaf in one ear, also known as single-sided deafness, a bone conduction solution may be able to help.
Most people hear in two ways: by air conduction (sound traveling through the air into the ear canal) and bone conduction (sound passing through the bones in the head). They both work together to help us listen to and perceive sound.
If you or your child has a damaged or missing part of the outer ear or middle ear, it can sometimes be difficult for sound to reach the inner ear which then sends sound to the brain. A bone conduction solution works by bypassing the parts of the ear that aren't working.
Our bone conduction systems (Osia 2(I) and Baha 7 Sound Processors) have external sound processors and internal implants. We offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions that are designed to provide unparalleled hearing performance.
