  • Patrick,

    This video is what convinced me to get a Baha for myself. I have SSD; I have been deaf in my right ear for more than a decade. I underwent the implementation surgery yesterday at John's Hopkins. I hope to be where you were in this video in about 10 weeks.

    Thank you for revealing your story to all of those who have gone without hope for so many years. God bless.

  • That's great news! Best of luck with your Baha!

  • i have nove deafnes in both of my ears will this work with me

  • @ToledoBuffVids If this is useful to you then for what it's worth my hearing was damaged over 30 years ago during my 30's for many years wore behind the ear aids. Unfortunately even after several op's my hearing slowly became worse. Around 10 years ago I was fitted with a BAHA aid and frankly it proved too be invaluable. Simple too use, reliable and for me good normal hearing. The only thing you must remember is make sure the abutment area is always clean and carry your batteries. Regards

  • I will have my own in June! I'm so excited :)

  • technology is insane!

  • I've been told I'll never hear in my right ear. My ENT specialist just introduced me to this BAHA System, I'm looking into it and considering it this products. I'm just looking for opinions and testimonials.

  • @Dobro33H

    yo man help me out.. my left ear is working but my right ear is fucked up... since late 2004.. im 16 now and still nothing.. should i get one of these implants? is the sound any good

  • if u have facebook plase jion people with hearing loss and i am thinking about getting the baha thanks

  • I lost my hearing because of mumps just over a year ago now, & after an initial appointment with my local ENT I was told that damage was permanent & that nothing could be done to improve my hearing either through surgery or a hearing aid. 6 months later this week I returned to have a check up, hearing test & another consultation. The doctor then informed me of BAHA and after doing some research & coming across this I am very positive about my options. You play like the late great John Fahey.

  • you have a real gift....you live music....u are music....inspirational!!

    GODBLESS

  • How long was your recovery time after surgery? What are the down sides to this device? I go for surgery next month. Thanks for your help.
