Abstract
Background: Bone conduction implants are essential devices for enhancing auditory perception in patients with conductive or mixed hearing loss, particularly when conventional hearing aids fail to meet their needs. The advancement of bone conduction technology has led to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
Case Presentation: This case series presents two case reports detailing the transition from unilateral BAHA Attract®
and bilateral BAHA Connect®systems to bilateral Osia®implants. These transitions address the significant limitations of traditional BAHA systems, such as skin complications and sound attenuation. The transition involved careful planning and assessment, ensuring that the new Osia®implants were suitable for their individual auditory profiles. Post-implantation evaluations indicated a marked improvement in auditory performance and overall satisfaction.
Conclusion: The case reports demonstrate the superior performance of Osia®implants, highlighting their potential to reduce complications and significantly improve auditory outcomes. These findings also demonstrate the clinical benefits and growing relevance of transitioning from BAHA to Osia®systems for patients with complex auditory needs.
Keywords: Hearing loss, conductive, bone conduction, bone conduction hearing aid, Osia, Baha.
