An implantable bone conduction hearing aid is a device that assists hearing by transmitting sound vibration through the bone. It is suitable not only for patients with conductive hearing loss and congenital external aural atresia but also for those with unilateral hearing loss, chronic otitis media, or patients whose normal structure has been destroyed due to previous surgery. In this paper, we introduce a novel surgical technique for an implantable bone conduction hearing aid (BAHA® Attract) that can be performed through minimal incision in a short time under local anesthesia based on accurate anatomical characteristics. We believe this novel technique could provide convenience for patients and surgeons. Additionally, through this technique, we can expect that various types of implantable bone conduction hearing aids that function effectively and safely can be provided for patients.
