Objective: To learn the benefit of the unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss patients wear bone conduction hearing aid BAHA.
Method: Sixteen unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss patients done BAHA aided pure tone test and speech recognition threshold test in the quiet environment and MHINT test respectively. We can learn the effect of wearing BAHA by doing the unaided and aided speech recognition threshold test in different environment.
Result: BAHA had good compensation of aided threshold but have no obvious im prove of speech recognition threshold both in quiet and noise environment.
Conclusion: According to the research and feedback of patients, BAHA have no obvious benefit to unilateral profound hearing loss. The related benefit test should he done first before deciding whether or not to implant BAHA. The long-term BAHA wearing benefit still need to further understand with unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss patients.
