I'm looking for the BAHA information and this video is very good.

I have a BAHA. I had to have the surgery done twice because the implant fell out the first time.

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and have the Baha sitting in my closet waiting until I can use it . I CAN'T wait.

I am a 40 year old female that woke up one morning and everything was ok and then suddenly my left ear starting ringing. After going to the E.R. and being sent to another hospital and then to 3 different doctors including an ear specialist I learned that I suddenly became deaf in my left ear for no apparent reason. The only possible way for me to maybe hear some is the BAHA procedure, Not sure it is for me and am really undecided at this time. Can anyone help me with this?

@caliturnedtennessean

I hope you got this done. I only had 10% hearing in my right ear and now its almost perfect. I am able to distinguish sound in either direction but that may be due to having the 10% in my right ear. If you did have this done, I hope it has worked as good for you as it has for me.

That sounds a little odd. Generally BAHA is only recommended for people with severe conductive losses (where the cause of the problem is in the middle ear, which is uncommon for a sudden hearing loss), or there is some other contraindication to normal hearing aids such as in the case of atresia where the ear canal never developed, so sound can't travel through the normal pathway used by hearing aids.

My opinion.. This surgery should not be imposed on children. As an adult one can decide if they want a screw drilled into their head. Deaf kids have enough to deal with.. They don't need an infected bald spot on their head. Deaf children are people.. Not guinea pigs.. Signed.. A Grandparent of 2 deaf children!! LET THEM GROW UP AND DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES!

@DirtKickerStudio I am so greatful that my parents did not reason like you! It is a wonderful gift to be able to hear and I do not care about the bald spot.

But with BAHA< you still will not be able to distinguish where sound is coming from.

Im gonna film before surgery, surgery, and after trhe surgery and upload it to youtube for those who are interested

i have single-sided deafness and this product was going to be my only chance of being able to hear from my right ear. I went to the doctor and found out the implant would do nothing for me as my inner ear doesn't work, meaning the nerves that send the sounds from my ear to my brain don't work, they don't funtion at all, so the BAHA won't work for me.

[motellife]

and then the cochlear implant won't work for me either as they're only used for people who are deaf on both ears, not just one. the cochlear would work for me, but since it hasn't been done or tested.

[LasteroBlue]

The device transfers the sound thru your scull towards the healthy ear on the other side. You will be able to hear sounds from your deaf side again. Good luck!

I would suggest talking to you physician again. If you have single sided deafness then you are a Baha candidate.
