Hearing Outcomes Using Super-power Processors in Bone Anchored Implant Recipients
The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit of new super-power bone-anchored hearing
aid (BAHA) processors in BAHA users. BAHAs are able to help people with mixed/conductive and
single-sided hearing loss when they are unable to use or receive limited benefit from
traditional hearing. Until recently, BAHAs were only recommended to people with up to a
moderate hearing loss. New super-power BAHA processors may be able to help people who
previously were not candidates for BAHAs or received limited benefit from them. The
information collected in this study may lead to improved evaluation of and expanded treatment
options for people considering BAHA. Different types of hearing tests will be used to compare
the devices.

The objective of this study is to assess the benefit of new super-power bone-anchored hearing
aid (BAHA) processors in BAHA users. BAHAs are able to help people with mixed/conductive and
single-sided hearing loss when they were not receiving benefit from traditional hearing aids
or could not use them due to differences in their ears related to surgery or congenital
anomalies. Stronger super-power processors may be able to help individuals who previously did
not meet candidacy for BAHA. This study will evaluate how much benefit they are getting from
their current devices compared to new super-power devices.
The information collected in this study may lead to improved evaluation of patients
considering BAHA implantation and expanded treatment options for new and existing BAHA users.
Primary outcome measures will include hearing threshold and speech perception measures. All
devices are commercially available and FDA approved.
