Cochlear Implants
Cochlear implants are an advanced hearing solution designed for those who have severe to profound hearing loss and receive limited benefit from hearing aids.
Instead of just amplifying sounds, a cochlear implant sends sound signals directly to your hearing nerve, bypassing damaged parts of your ear. This allows you to experience clearer sound and improved speech understanding, even in the most difficult listening situations.
Who Can Benefit?
You may benefit from a cochlear implant if you struggle to understand conversations even when using well-fitted hearing aids. Cochlear implants are suitable for adults and children whose hearing loss makes traditional aids ineffective.
Key Benefits for You
Cochlear implants can offer meaningful benefits in everyday life, from clearer communication to greater confidence. Here are some of the ways they may help you
Regain access to important sounds and voices you may have been missing
Boost your ability to follow conversations in noisy settings, at work, or during social gatherings
Enjoy a fuller, more natural hearing experience, supporting your independence and confidence

Bone-Anchored Hearing Aids (BAHA)
Bone anchored hearing aids (BAHA) provide another effective solution for those who cannot wear traditional hearing aids or have single-sided deafness, conductive, or mixed hearing loss.
Instead of sending sound through the ear canal, BAHA devices transmit sound vibrations through the bone directly to your inner ear, bypassing damaged areas.
Who Are BAHA For?
If ear infections, ear canal problems, or a specific type of hearing loss prevent you from using regular hearing aids, these could be the path forward. You can enjoy improved hearing clarity, even when other options have let you down.
Key Benefits for You
Bone anchored hearing aids can offer practical benefits for clearer, more comfortable hearing. Here are some of the ways they may help you:
Direct sound transmission for a clearer, more natural hearing experience
Comfort and convenience, with no earmold or traditional earpiece required
Reliable hearing in situations where traditional aids are not an option
The Cochlear Osia® System
Our clinic proudly offers the Cochlear Osia® System, widely recognized as the modern standard in bone conduction solutions. As an advanced active transcutaneous system, it uses a piezoelectric transducer placed entirely under the skin. For appropriate candidates, key advantages include:
No permanent abutment — there is no post penetrating the skin, making the device discreet and visually appealing
Reduced risk of skin complications, because the skin remains intact around the implant site
Superior sound and clarity, with high power and high-frequency output to maximize speech understanding
Legacy Solutions & Alternatives
While the Osia® system is often preferred by surgeons and patients today, traditional bone-anchored systems — such as classic BAHA options using a percutaneous abutment or magnetic connection — remain valuable alternatives for specific clinical profiles or anatomical considerations. Bone conduction solutions are always selected based on your individual hearing needs, medical history, and anatomy following a complete clinical evaluation.
