Oticon Medical is an implantable hearing solutions brand owned by Denmark-based corporation Demant A/S. U.S. headquarters are in Somerset, N.J. Oticon Medical focuses on implantable hearing solutions for people with hearing loss. In the U.S., Oticon Medical offers bone-anchored hearing systems under their Pronto brand. Bone-anchored hearing systemsBone-anchored hearing systems (BAHS) are comprised of two parts—a metal implant behind the ear and a sound processor that sits on the surface of the skull. The sound processor portion contains a microphone that picks up sounds in the environment, just like a traditional hearing aid. That’s where the similarity between the two devices ends. While a traditional hearing aid delivers amplified sound into the ear canal that travels through the middle ear and to the inner ear, a BAHS converts the sounds into mechanical energy that vibrates the skull to deliver the sound directly to the inner ear. These devices are often a potential treatment for people who have at least one normally functioning inner ear, such as single-sided deafness (SSD) or conductive hearing loss.
