The Baha system is a bone conduction hearing system designed, developed and marketed by Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions. It is a semi-implantable, under the skin bone conduction hearing device coupled to the skull by a titanium fixture. [1] The system transfers sound to the inner ear through the bone. Over 100,000 people have had the system ...
A bone conduction headset (GoldenDance brand) Bone conduction products are usually categorized into three groups: Ordinary products, such as hands-free headsets or headphones; Bone-anchored hearing aids and assistive listening devices; Specialized communication products (e.g. for underwater or high-noise environments)
The standard and most common type of hearing test is pure tone audiometry, which measures the air and bone conduction thresholds for each ear in a set of 8 standard frequencies from 250Hz to 8000Hz. The test is conducted in a sound booth using either a pair of foam inserts or supraural headphones connected to an external audiometer.
A bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) [2] is a type of hearing aid based on bone conduction. It is primarily suited for people who have conductive hearing losses , unilateral hearing loss , single-sided deafness and people with mixed hearing losses who cannot otherwise wear 'in the ear' or 'behind the ear' hearing aids.
Intentional transmission of sound through bone can be used with individuals with normal hearing — as with bone-conduction headphones — or as a treatment option for certain types of hearing impairment. Bone generally conveys lower-frequency sounds better than higher frequency sound. These headsets/phones can be wired or wireless. [9] [10]
This earpiece translates one language into another so you never have to worry about the language barrier again
SoundBite Hearing System is a non-surgical bone conduction prosthetic device that transmits sound via the teeth. It is an alternative to surgical bone conduction prosthetic devices, which require surgical implantation into the skull to conduct sound. SoundBite avoids surgery by using the teeth rather than the implanted component.
The Bone Fone was a wearable radio that draped around the user's neck like a scarf. Bill Hass invented the device, [ 1 ] and JS&A marketed it in 1979. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] According to the marketing materials, the Bone Fone resonated sound through the wearer's bones.
