1. Hearing Evaluation
Our audiologists test your hearing and how well you do with hearing aids to see whether a bone conduction device could help.
Our Services
Bone Conduction Implants
For people who cannot get good results from traditional hearing aids, a bone conduction implant sends sound through the bone directly to the inner ear.
What Is a Bone Conduction Implant?
A bone conduction implant picks up sound with a small processor worn on the head and turns it into gentle vibrations. These vibrations travel through the skull bone to the inner ear, bypassing the ear canal and middle ear completely.
Because nothing sits in the ear canal, these devices work well for people with chronic drainage, ear canal problems, or hearing loss in only one ear.
Our surgeons and audiologists work together through every step, from evaluation to long-term care.
Who May Be a Candidate?
- Conductive or mixed hearing loss
- Chronic ear drainage that makes hearing aids hard to wear
- Narrow, closed, or absent ear canals
The Bone Conduction Implant Process
2. Try It First
You can hear what a bone conduction device sounds like before surgery by trying a processor on a headband or soft band in the office.
3. Medical Consultation
Our physicians examine your ears, review your history, and discuss which type of implant best fits your needs.
4. Outpatient Surgery
A small implant is placed in the bone behind the ear. The procedure is usually under an hour and most patients go home the same day.
5. Activation & Programming
After healing, your audiologist fits the sound processor and adjusts it to your hearing, with follow-up visits to fine-tune the sound.
