Switching from Baha Connect to Osia for bone conduction implant users
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study is for people who already have a Baha Connect bone conduction hearing implant but are having problems with it, like skin irritation. It tests switching to a newer device called Osia, which may work better for them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You already have a Baha Connect implant (a bone conduction hearing device) and have been using it for at least 6 months.
- You have mixed or conductive hearing loss in the ear with the Baha Connect device—meaning sounds have trouble reaching your inner ear.
- You are unhappy with your current Baha Connect system because of medical issues like skin irritation or infections.
- You are willing to switch to the Osia system, a newer bone conduction device that uses a different way to send sound.

This study collects information from people who have or will get a Sentio bone-anchored hearing implant as part of their normal medical care. It helps doctors learn more about how well the implant works in everyday practice.
This study checks how well long-term care works for people who may use an osseointegrated hearing device (an implanted option that connects to bone). It may help by improving long-term support and outcomes for hearing and day-to-day functioning over about three years.
This trial tests a bone conduction implant called the OSIA system, which bypasses the damaged outer or middle ear to send sound directly to the inner ear. It is for children with microtia or ear atresia (underdeveloped or missing ear structures) who have hearing loss but have been using a bone conduction device on a headband. The goal is to see if getting the implant on both sides improves hearing and quality of life for these children.
This study compares two types of non-surgical hearing devices that use bone conduction to help you hear. It aims to find which device works better for people with normal inner ear function but who need alternative ways to hear.
This trial tests the maximum sound gain you can get from your bone-anchored hearing device. If you already use an Oticon Medical compatible system and have mixed hearing loss, this study will check how well your device performs.
This study tests a new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
