A Baha is a bone-anchored hearing aid that is placed in position through surgery. It has both internal and external parts. A Baha may be appropriate for someone who has one-sided deafness, has had many ear infections, or who may not have a normal outer ear.
It helps people with a different type of hearing loss from those who would benefit from a cochlear implant.
Baha placement is available in some centres in Canada.
