Abstract:
This article describes the mode of operation of temporal bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA) based on the phenomenon of osseointegration, and the otiatric and audiologic criteria used in the selection of patients for implantation of this device. The technical details of the two-step implantation of a titanium anchor for BAHA within the mastoid process are described. The difficulties associated with this procedure are analyzed based on our own experience with implants placed in 3 patients.
