A bone conduction implant may be suitable if your hearing challenges are not effectively addressed by traditional hearing aids.
This may include people with:
For some people, hearing aids are not the most effective solution.
This may be due to medical conditions affecting the ear canal or middle ear, chronic infections, or when sound cannot travel effectively through the ear in the usual way.
In these cases, a bone conduction implant provides an alternative by bypassing the outer and middle ear and delivering sound directly to the inner ear.
A bone conduction implant is a small medical device that works differently from a hearing aid.
Instead of sending sound through the ear canal, it transmits sound vibrations through the bone behind the ear directly to the inner ear (cochlea). This bypasses parts of the ear that may not be functioning effectively, allowing sound to be processed more clearly.
