If your hearing loss is due to issues with your ear canal, ear drum or the bones and muscles behind your ear drums, you might hear better with a solution that bypasses the issue.
What is a Bone Conduction Implant?
Bone conduction implants and middle ear implants are specialist hearing devices for particular types of hearing loss. They consist of one component that is surgically implanted by an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist and an external processor which we program up for you. Those two components work seamlessly to take advantage of your good inner ear hearing, giving you the clearest sound ever.
Is it right for me?
To find out if you could benefit from a bone conduction or middle ear implant, we start with a comprehensive hearing test. We then do some specialist tests through a bone conductor headphone to see how well you hear if we bypass any issues with your outer or middle ear. Finally, if you’re a likely candidate, we program a demonstration device on a headband for you to experience the sound in the real world. If you love the sound on the headband, you’ll love it even more once you have the implant.
What's it cost?
These hearing implants are listed as prosthetic devices. This means that if you have mid to high level hospital cover, a bulk of the costs will be covered. You’ll need to talk to your surgeon to find out exact costs for the surgery, but your total out of pocket cost will generally be less than you would pay for a mid-high level hearing aid.
Want to find out more?
It all starts with a comprehensive hearing assessment. If you haven’t had one in the last 6 months, book your Adult Hearing Test so we can start the process. If you have any questions, please get contact us.
We look forward to
hearing from you
