Benefits of bone anchored hearing systems

How you perceive a bone anchored system will depend on your hearing loss, previous hearing solution, and your lifestyle, needs and preferences. Common benefits include better sound quality, higher comfort from keeping the ear canals open, and better hearing from the deaf side (for people with single-sided deafness).

Clear & natural sound

Transferring sounds to the inner ear via bone conduction completely bypasses problems in your ear canal or middle ear. Bone anchored hearing systems don't have to use as much amplification as conventional hearing aids, so the sound quality feels more natural. 

A comfortable solution

With a bone conduction system the ear canal is kept completely open. This may be more comfortable and less problematic if you suffer from ear infections and irritation.

If you are deaf on one side a bone conduction system can pick up sounds coming from that side and transfer them to your good ear. This increases your awareness of what is happening on that side, and makes it easier to understand speech.

A safe and simple procedure

The surgical procedure to have a bone anchored implant placed is safe and simple. It doesn’t take very long, and there is no risk of damage to your ear or your hearing. More than 70,000 people worldwide have already had this done!
