People with chronic infections of the outer ear (ear canal) and the middle ear (area behind the ear drum) can benefit from BAHA. Generally, people with these conditions have a chronic unpleasant drainage from their ears. The infection responds to conventional therapy with medications and surgery most of the time. However, sometimes it may recur and is deemed non-threatening. In these cases or when the infection recurs with the use of regular hearing aids that are placed in the ear canal, the BAHA is a suitable choice for hearing improvement
