  • Title: The Baha Softband. A new treatment for young children with bilateral congenital aural atresia.
    Author: Verhagen CV, Hol MK, Coppens-Schellekens W, Snik AF, Cremers CW.
    Journal: Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol; 2008 Oct; 72(10):1455-9. PubMed ID: 18667244.
    Abstract:
    The Baha (bone-anchored hearing aid) Softband appears to be an effective mean of hearing rehabilitation for children with a congenital bilateral aural atresia who are too young for the amplification of a Baha on an implant. The aided hearing threshold with a Baha Softband is almost equal to that achieved with a conventional bone conductor. The speech development of the children studied with a Baha Softband is on a par with peers with good hearing.
