Sammanfattning
The bone-anchored hearing aid (Baha) was introduced in 1977 by Tjellström and colleagues and has now been used clinically for over 30
years. Generally, the outcomes are good, and several studies have shown improved audiological- and quality of life outcomes. The principle of
the Baha is, that sound vibrations are led directly to the inner ear via the mastoid bone, bypassing the middle ear. This is achieved via an
osseointegrated implant and a skin-penetrating abutment. Studies report high success rates and a majority of complications as typically minor
in nature.
