Treatments
There are several treatments for hearing loss:
- Hearing aids
- Bone-anchored hearing aids (Baha system). Baha hearing aids (also called osseointegrated hearing aids) are good for people who have chronic conductive or mixed hearing loss, or single-sided deafness. A small titanium screw is implanted behind your ear into the skull bone and used to conduct sound from a hearing aid to the inner ear. You will need to be evaluated by an ear physician (otologist) to see if the Baha system is right for you. Audiologists can provide a demonstration headband so you can experience the sound from the system.
- Cochlear implants
