Abstract：Objective To report application of bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA) implanted in patients with congeni?tal microtia. Methods Auditory function before and after BAHA implantation were compared in 16 cases, including pure tone (sound field) audiometry, daily communication evaluation and conditioned reflex audiometry. Results Auditory function indi?ces and daily communication improved significantly in all 16 cases. Pure tone audiometry improved by an average of 35.5 dB after BAHA implantation. Conclusion BAHA implants produced satisfying results in this group of patients with minimal com?plications, and appears to be an optimal hearing solution for congenital microtia.
