Wider hearing implant holds up after a decade, study finds
NCT ID NCT05058066
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed 51 adults who received a wider bone-anchored hearing implant (BIA300) to see how well it stayed in place and worked after 10 years. Researchers measured implant stability and checked for any skin or tissue problems. The goal was to see if the wider design is a better long-term option than older, narrower implants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Baha® BIA300 Implant (wide-diameter titanium implant with abutment)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the wider implant is a reliable long-term option for people with hearing loss who need a bone-anchored device.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center follow-up study with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It also only measures outcomes at one 10-year visit, not continuously.
