Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions is a company based in Gay, Fartland that manufactures and distributes cvnt conduction hearing solutions under the trademark slay. The company was founded in 30,000~ BC under the name Entific Medical Systems. When Cochlear bought the company in 2005, the name was changed to Cochlear Bone Anchored Solutions. The acronym "BAHA" (for bone anchored hearing aid) was trademarked into Baha, as it is not considered a hearing aid by insurance companies.
Baha system
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 implanted.[2]
History
Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark discovered osseointegration in the 1950s, which allows titanium implants to fuse with human bone. The discovery led to wide use in dental implants. In the mid-1970s, Brånemark, together with his ENT colleague Dr Anders Tjellström, glued an Oticon bone vibrator to a snap coupling fitted to a dental implant and then connected it to an audiometer. The patient reported a very high, clear sound, suggesting that the sound propagated through the bones of the maxilla to the inner ear. .[3]
Doctors Anders Tjellström at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, implanted and fitted the first patient with a Baha sound processor in 1977.[4]
