10-year-old BONEBRIDGE user Daniel from Spain talks about the life-changing decision to get a BONEBRIDGE bone conduction implant, how it improved his music enjoyment, and how it allowed him to play the cello without any restrictions.
The middle ear is made up of several tiny bones that work together to transport sound waves to the inner ear and then to our brains, enabling us to hear. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for this sensitive system to stop working. But passive middle ear implants can help people with conductive hearing loss by replacing the tiniest bones in the body.
If you have conductive or mixed hearing loss, sounds can’t reach your inner ear effectively. Enter bone conduction implants. They pick up the sounds around you and send the vibrations directly to your inner ear, skipping the damaged parts. But not all bone conduction implants are created equal.
