The Baha System
1. A sound processor picks up sound vibrations.
2. An abutment is attached to the sound processor and the implant. The abutment transfers sound vibrations to the implant.
3. A small titanium implant is placed in the bone behind the ear where it fuses with the living bone. This process is called osseointegration*. The implant transfers the sound vibrations via the skull bone to the functioning cochlea.
