BAHA hearing implant

A revolutionary magnetic implant has restored the hearing of a young actor who went deaf in one ear at the age of 17. The new device is the bone anchored hearing aid [b](BAHA) Attract[/b], and it replaces the older version of the BAHA. BAHAs are suitable for patients who have problems with the outer and middle parts of the ear, usually due to infections or previous surgery.
