How Bone Conduction Hearing Aids Work | Cochlear BAHA, Oticon Medical Ponto, Medel ADHEAR

Please let me know if you have any questions about Bone Conduction Hearing Aids!

Hey can a person with profound hearing loss I.e more than 120db hear with bone conduction technology

Hey Dr. Cliff! I had a tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy due to Cholesteotoma a few years ago in my left year. It left me with conductive hearing loss in that ear, but I’ve been able to rely on my right ear and have gotten by just fine. Well now the Cholesteotoma has found it’s way into my right ear and have to have the same surgery. I’ve already had the BAHA evaluation and they said I’m a candidate for it. The doctors think it makes the most sense for the BAHA to be placed on my left ear since we already know how that side is post surgery. So my question is does it matter which side it goes on? And is this still a good option not knowing how the recovery from surgery on my right side will be?

Is there a bone conducting head phone with live listening capability?

My 3 year old has profound hearing loss in one ear and perfect hearing in the other and is not eligible for a cochlear implant. I believe the only other option at this time is a BAHA device (correct me if I'm wrong). If sound is just transmitted to the good hear, does a Baha help with sound localization at all and is it possible to over stimulate your good ear and create long term issues?

I’ve always been stone deaf in my right ear. Can bone conduction hearing aids help with that?

Eu surdo 😢

How much do the BAHA non invasive bone conduction hearing aids headphones work?

Why so much pain after several years

Looking for information, will get bone conduction system Which one would you recommend and why

What about the osia do 2 baha work ?

I have a ? I used to use the baha hear aid but my I had to get post taken out because I got in Infection

Can you do a review on the Walker's Raptor Bone Conducting Headset? Could they be used as hearing aids? Does anyone else make such as device that would be better?

I am a babyboomer that has been recommended for Phonak Paradise hearing aid for first time. I have deep voice and most appreciate that I speak slowly and articulate; I find it hard to understand soft spoken people. Having sensitive skin and ears, I prefer NOT to have any hearing aids in the ear canal; Paradise delicate hearing aids with a little wire and ear bud top does not impress me. My cats cats could easily break this flimsy hearing aid. IMHO, I would prefer bone conduction options (love design of Shockz openswim)...but local provider seems to not replying to my questions. Can't I choose a non ear option for hearing aids? I am about ready to voice my concerns with Medicare.

Hello kind sir,
I have a question: Can a pair of bone-conducting sports headphones like the one from Langsdom offer sound to a completely deaf person?
I am tempted to try it out for my mom because I know she told me once that by adding a speaker on the back of her ear she could hear the sound (I'm not sure if by vibrations she means sound), my doubt is how effective are these pairs if the speaker is placed in front of the ear.

Dr Cliff enjoy learning from you. My son is 19, born with Down syndrome and wears glasses. He was born with total deafness in his right ear and left ear is considered normal;. We were All-Children's hospital and cannot get anyone to tell us if the CROS or the Med-EL ADHEAR is the preferred / best device to use. If we had to choose one, which of the two is the best knowing money is not a concern?? Mike, a desperate father to help his son

How do U expect us to watch and hear ur videos. We are deaf!!!

Hello Dr Cliff, do you have a video reviewing the BAHA Soundarc for adults? Thank you!

what about people who were born deaf or lost their hearing later on after going to school will they be able to hear like a normal person who has no hearing loss???

Can you make a video on feedback for bone conduction aids?

An update on bone conduction would a be great future video.

I just had consult with audiologist for BAHA device. The Osia and Med-el magnetic units. Big difference between them is battery life and MRI compatibility. Osia is not MRI compatible!

I have a BAHA. They told me because of my mix hearing loss due to a long history of ear infections and a history of Cholestatoma in my left ear. They told me that because of the mix hearing loss and the fact that I have no inner ear bones and a large canal that the BAHA wouldn't work the best but would work better then a convential hearing aid. So now I have a post and feel llike a cyberg.

Is this bone bridge?

I’ve worn tradition h/aids since I was 5 years old. Now at 64 years old, I just got bi-lateral Baha 6 maxes. For me I compare it to going from mono sound to surround sound. It’s amazing!! I just someone had suggested this YEARS AGO!!!

Does it work for severe sensorineural hearing loss

How about a video on baha vs proton?

I have left ear froblem doctor told me if we fix metal piece in head that can be couse of infection. Which one is best plz

Which hearing aid is best for congenital absence of bilateral pinna?

I use cochlear nucleus 7 on both ear. Similar to hearing aid . I loss hearing over time decline as I get older.. sensenuerial hearing loss

A dr before wanted me to get a bone anchored implant I’m glad I declined because less then a yr later another dr said I need a cochlear implant after hearing 4 more drs agree I finally got it done this past Wednesday and I’m not recovering for the mappings

I have single sided hearing, since i was 3 years old. I am in my 50s now. My question is if I get the BAHA will I be able to hear my friend speak to me on my bad side while in a noisy environment, like a restaurant? Or is Phonics Crocs a better option?

Hello! I’ve been watching pretty much every video you have and I have a question when it comes to bone conduction hearing aids. I’m SSD since birth and have had hearing aids my entire life. I’m about to get Osia Bone Conduction hearing aid done in one month. I do have my concerns. Sound quality-wise what gives you the best possible or most natural-sounding sound? Osia Bone Conduction or normal hearing aids? I love the idea of Bone mainly since I don’t have to put anything in my ear and deal with the itch or pressure of hearing aids. I’d also like to keep my good ear to hear normally compared to everything coming from a hearing aid. Which is another big win for bone conduction. But my main concern is the sound. Do bone conduction hearing aids have the ability to sound just as good if not better as traditional hearing aids? Looking forward to hearing you soon. Thanks!

My main question. Out of all the bone solutions. Which can produce the best sounds? I’m SSD since birth. Currently looking into the new Osia Bone solution as my main option.

Sir my son is 8 years old .We just came to know that he has sloping SN hearing loss in right ear BC/AC 30/33 dbhl moderate SN hearing loss in left ear which is BC/AC 55/62 dbhl and he was all ok jst one year back we just need to know the reason behind that and doctors in India have suggested us to use hearing aids .Dr plz guide us.

Sir
My daughter is 26 years old met with an accident in Feb 2020. She had profound hearing loss in left ear. Right ear is normal. Dr suggested for Bone Conduction implant . please advise what other options she has for ear solution. Thanks

Thank you

Another great informative video! Thank you Dr. Cliff. I was recently diagnosed with hearing loss in the 90 Decibel levels (its not good). I digress. during my visit, the audiologist did a sound test using a bone conduction device and I was amazed how clear the sounds were. I am currently using my Sony MDR-7506 headphones and I cant help wonder what sound quality I am missing. I have grown somewhat accustom to the severe loss. As I mentioned to you in another great video you provided, I found a great hearing treatment (based on your recommendation) and soon I will be fitted for hearing aids. Thanks again Dr. Cliff. I think I can speak for many people, your informative videos have had a very positive impact on the lives of so many people (I see that in the comments).

This seems it would be really unconformable over a few hours. Having your skull vibrate would probably get annoying after awhile I am thinking about changing my bones out for titanium but I have a 1 out of three chance for three things. One, I gain all my hearing back, two keep the same amount of hearing, or three I lose all my hearing (in that one ear). I have a disease on my ear bones that creates "plat" and deteriorates the bone under the plat. This hearing loss is progressive and the titanium bones are the only permanent solutions at the time of writing this. I have worn hearing aids in the past but due to natural disasters, I have had them damaged multiple times. As a university student, it is difficult to get new hearing aids at this time. I am thinking about making a device that could be a surgery place where the eardrum and bones are. The problem is power making sure to provide power when the battery or fuel cell has run out. Obviously, this would be a device I would design when I graduate and had enough money to create. What do you think of this and or if I could get a scholarship for a hearing aid? If you think I could get a scholarship for a hearing aid do you know where? This field is full of older people and makes me kind of wish I had some peers to talk to about this. Though it is hard to find peers in this field. I hope you are staying safe and have a good day.

Cool bro. Name a company that isn't cochlear baha. Its not accepted by most insurance in anerica... never heard my kids voice because I couldn't fly to oz. Nice . Maybe lead with no american insurance covers this over 18 next time.

Hello, my one-year-old son has right unilateral microtia, and the treating physician recommended the use of a Bruckhoff brand bone vibrator, but I know there is the possibility of the Medel Adhear bone vibrator.

Based on your experience which of the two hearing aids is recommended to treat microtia.

Thank you very much

Doctor thank you so much for the video question it’s possible to hear back mixed hearing loss after surgery?

I am so excited I have my surgery in a few weeks !

If a I have deafness on my left side, my question is, the hearing aid will stimulate my left ear or my right ear?

I have had tubes put in both ears every two years since Kindergarten. I've had a Tympanoplasty in both ears a couple of years ago. The left side failed and had two closteomas (sorry for the spelling) and the bones were stuck with calcium. I just had another Tympanoplasty 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Because ins. Dosent cover hearing aids my Dr suggested the Baha. What do you think I would benefit more from?

I had a Ponto Hearing implant surgery August 29th and I am amazed at how well I can hear on both sides of my head! I have no regrets!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
