Jiya Annu Jacob, Dr. Vini Abhijith Gupta
Abstract: Bone - anchored hearing aids (BAHA) are implantable systems that use bone conduction and sound vibrations to create a more complete and comprehensive listening experience for individuals with a hearing impairment (HI). There are three main indications for Baha: conductive hearing loss (due to chronic otitis media, malformations of the middle or outer ear), single sided deafness (SSD), and mixed hearing loss (Gardell, 2015). The aim of the current study was to assess adult BAHA user?s experience, satisfaction and quality of life (QOL) using a closed - ended English questionnaire, in Bangalore district, Karnataka. The results of the current study revealed that adult BAHA users have better listening experience, their satisfaction rate is high and QoL also improved with BAHA.
Keywords: BAHA users in Karnataka, Quality of life (QoL), patient satisfaction, experience, closed ended questionnaire
