The World of Sound
The World of Sound, a website sponsored by Cochlear UK, aims to raise awareness of Baha, with a new campaign.
The site contains information about cochlear implants and Baha and how they can literally open up ‘a world of sound’ to children and adults with differing levels of hearing impairment to profound deafness.
David Proops, ENT surgeon at Queen Elizabeth Medical Centre Birmingham and Birmingham Children’s Hospital, is among those explaining why Baha is so successful. He explains that it is a relatively simple procedure where there is no risk to the patient or their existing hearing.
"It is a very simple day case procedure, which is not operating anywhere near the ear and should be carried out under local anaesthetic," he says. "Audiologists have a high success rate, because the outcome is predictable."
