Abstract		BAHA hearing aids employ direct bone conduction for sound transmission. They can be used for the rehabilitation of common conductive hearing loss, which is found in patients with chronic discharging ears, atretic ears and other syndromes that produce hearing loss. We have implanted 3 patients with BAHA: one patient with Treacher-Collins syndrome, one with radical cavities on both sides and chronic discharge from the better ear, and one with otosclerosis and myringitis in the only hearing ear. There were no complications. All the three patients are satisfied with the new device. They use the BAHA throughout the day, the sound is clear, and they have fewer problems communicating. The patient with a congenital malformation can now use the telephone.
Summary		Kostno vsidrani slušni pripomoček (BAHA - angl. Bone Anchored Hearing Aid) temelji na kostnem prevajanju zvoka. Vstavitev je primerna predvsem pri bolnikih s prirojenimi napakami sluhovoda in srednjega ušesa in bolnikih s kroničnim vnetjem srednjega ušesa, ki ne morejo nositi običajnih slušnih aparatov, možnosti obnovitvene kirurgije pa so pri njih že izčrpane. Doslej smo vstavili tri BAHA: pri bolniku s prirojeno nerazvitostjo sluhovodov v sklopu Treacher-Collinsovega sindroma, bolnici s kroničnim izcedkom po radikalni operaciji na boljše slišečem ušesu in bolnici s kroničnim miringitisom in otosklerozo na edinem slišečem ušesu. Posegi so minili brez zapletov, bolniki so z novo pridobitvijo zadovoljni, saj pripomoček uporabljajo ves dan, zvok je jasnejši, posledično imajo manjše težave pri sporazumevanju, bolnik s prirojeno napako pa lahko sedaj uporablja telefon.
