The bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) is an effective means of intervention, its use being well documented in persons with chronic conductive pathology and congenital aural anomalies. This article describes the standard guidelines (both auditory and extraauditory aspects) for patient selection and expands the criteria to include bilateral BAHA implantation, unilateral conductive hearing loss, and unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. The BAHA's development, design features, and patient outcomes are also reviewed. Suggestions are presented for fitting, counseling, and following BAHA users.

Key Words: hearing aids, conductive hearing loss, audiologic rehabilitation, sensorineural hearing loss, congenital aural atresia
