Cochlear Implant: The implant is inserted into the cochlea. A microphone located in the headpiece captures sound information which is processed and converted to a digital signal that is passed to the implant. The auditory nerve is stimulated resulting in hearing.
BAHA is for those who need hearing amplification but have ear canal problems, middle ear problems, or single sided deafness. A titanium implant is placed in the mastoid bone behind the ear. The sound processor is attached to a snap that is exposed through the skin. The sound travels from the processor via the bone into the inner ear.
