Severe Hearing Loss Option Other than a CI

May 12, 2004

The other day, I sent a link to the BAHA Hearing System. It is a

bonew anchored hearing aid that is producing some very interesting

results. On Saturday, I met two women who have gone thru the

procedure. They are hearing so well..it was thrilling to watch.

One of them was quite severely handicapped due to a previous stroke.

A person would need to qualify by a simple test and you would know

before surgery how this would work for you and know exactly how this

sounds. If you do not fail bone conduction testing, you would

qualify for the BAHA.

The BAHA can be done with either local or general anesthesia and I

know that this should create some interest for some of you. The

outpatient procedure takes from 15 to 45 minutes total. That in

itself is pretty amazing.

If you didn't look at the system before go to

and take a look at it for yourself. Here in Albuquerque, there are

two doctors who are doing this procedure so I don't think it would

be hard to find someone in your area who is doing it.

I just wanted everyone who is dealing with the loss of hearing to

know that there is even more hope if this system would work for you.
