Ever wondered what a bone anchored hearing system is?

We've got the answer:

A bone anchored hearing system consists of a small implant that is surgically placed in the skull in the temporal and mastoid bone area (behind the ear). A sound processor captures sound in much the same way as a conventional hearing aid.

However, instead of sound transmission through the ear canal via air conduction, it transforms the sound into vibrations that are transmitted via the implant through the skull bone directly into the cochlea (the inner ear.) In this way, bone anchored hearing devices uses the body’s natural ability to conduct sound via the bone.

Earlier this year, Oticon Medical Marketing Manager and audiologist, Hilary McManus, had the opportunity to travel to Malawi with Hearing the Call, a nonprofit organization that focuses not on short-term relief, but on the long-term development of sustainable hearing healthcare in the communities it serves. Rather than providing one-time care and moving on, Hearing the Call collaborates with local professionals to build lasting systems through education, training, and access to resources.

Tips for Traveling Safely this Summer with Your Ponto 🛂

When traveling with a bone anchored hearing system like the Ponto™, there are a few things to consider:
✔️ Bring the Ponto Implant Card with you and inform airport security that you have an implanted device prior to passing through security. The TSA agent will also advise on whether you may keep the sound processor on, or not. If needed, you can download a spare implant card from our website.
✔️ When traveling by plane, turn on the flight mode on the sound processor to disable Bluetooth® during takeoff and landings.
✔️ If you would like to watch movies or listen to music, be sure to have extra batteries and accessories readily available.

Today, the US is observing Juneteenth. This holiday commemorates the day in 1865 when Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Texas to announce the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed, marking the end of the Civil War. Although the first celebration of Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, occurred in 1866, it took until the 21st century for it to receive recognition as a federal holiday.

This happened in large part because of the determination of Opal Lee, known as the “Grandmother" of Juneteenth. She walked 2.5 miles annually to symbolize the two and a half years it took for news of the Emancipation Proclamation to reach Texas. At the age of 89, she walked from Fort Worth, Texas, to Washington, D.C., hoping to convince President Barak Obama to establish Juneteenth as a national holiday. Five years later, President Biden did so. He also awarded Opal Lee the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her advocacy work.
