Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hey all, I was just wondering if any of you have a BAHA. My dr says it's the only option I have left. Nothing will work on my right ear. I have lost all bone conduction so a hearing aid or BAHA won't work on that side. Now then I've lost more hearing in my left ear from past surgeries and cholesteatoma. My dr doesn't want to try another surgery because of the chances of something going wrong. So, he says the only other option is a BAHA. I do okay with my hearing aid but he says my hearing would be soo much better with a BAHA. I've done some research and so far I can't really see any downside to getting one. Of course, I've got to see how my insurance feels about it too..lol!! Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi Jo I've had a baha on my right side for about 18 months now, I know that everyone is different but it has made a real difference to me. Of course in the UK it's not insurance that is the problem but some people, me included, have to wait quite a while before the funding is approved. I've had some problems with infections around the abutment but I would still say that it has been really worth it for me. Good luck, do contact me with any questions if you want.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi Jo I have a BAHA; I’ve had one for 6+ years and had no problems at all... I love it – wouldn’t be without it! There is a BAHA group on – BAHA_PPL – that may be of some assistance to you. Search for BAHA_PPL and have a read of the messages there (you may need to join the group first, though).
