Appointment Helpline
There are two main types of implants used in ear surgeries: bone-anchored hearing aids and cochlear implants. Bone-anchored hearing aids are used to treat patients with conductive hearing loss, while cochlear implants are used to treat patients with sensorineural hearing loss.
Bone anchored
Bone anchored hearing aids are surgically implanted under the skin behind the ear. A small abutment is placed on the skull, and a titanium screw is used to attach the hearing aid to the abutment. The hearing aid is then connected to the abutment via a magnet. This type of hearing aid is ideal for patients with conductive hearing loss because it bypasses the outer and middle ear and directly stimulates the inner ear.

Cochlear implants
Cochlear implants are also surgically implanted under the skin, but they are placed directly on the skull behind the ear. A cochlear implant has two parts: an external receiver and an internal stimulator. The external receiver is connected to the internal stimulator via a magnet. The internal stimulator is placed next to the auditory nerve. This type of hearing aid is ideal for patients with sensorineural hearing loss because it directly stimulates the auditory nerve.
