baja procedure

Non-PRO English to Spanish Medical Medical: Health Care Hearing
Please, the help I am looking for is. It is a medical procedure for a device to recover hearing loss. It is called the BAJA Procedure. I have just been informed by the VA nurse that the FDA has just disapproved the operations taking place for veterans in VA hospitals. I had been scheduled for my operation on Oct 14. So now I am looking at Venezuela or Cuba.. Thank you anyone who can help..

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

procedimiento BAHA (audífonos osteointegrados)

Los audífonos osteointegrados se han convertido en una alternativa en la amplificación en aquellos pacientes que presentan infecciones de oído medio, agenesias o atresias de conducto auditivo externo y malformaciones de oído medio. Estos pacientes tradicionalmente utilizaban audífonos de vía ósea, mediante una diadema y un vibrador óseo. Sin embargo, la amplificación no era efectiva y la posición del transductor afectaba el reconocimiento del lenguaje, además en pacientes crónicos el utilizar audífonos de vía aérea por oclusión del conducto auditivo externo puede causar una otorrea constante y favorecer un daño mayor en la audición.

En el año 1980 se crearon dos sistema osteintegrados el Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid más conocido por su sigla en inglés BAHA, desarrollado por Hakaansson, Tjellstrom y colaboradores y el Temporal Bone Stimulator (TBS) actualmente en desuso.

El BAHA ofrece varias ventajas al oído crónico, pues no ocluye el canal auditivo externo lo que permite una buena ventilación de las cavidades de mastoidectomía y además no ofrece presión sobre la piel. Las desventajas son la necesidad de una cirugía para su implante, la necesidad de cuidados especiales alrededor del implante osteointegrado percutáneo o transcutáneo y el mayor costo comparativo con los audífonos convencionales.

Está indicado en pacientes que tienen pérdida auditiva bilateral conductiva o mixta y que pueden beneficiarse con amplificación.

Actualmente se pueden conseguir dos tipos de BAHA, el classic HC300 en el cual el promedio de audición por vía ósea debe ser mejor de 40 dBHL y el BAHA cordelle en el cual el promedio debe ser mejor de 60-70 dBHL.

Estudios realizados han demostrado un aumento significativo de 3 a 8 dB en la amplificación de tonos arriba de 500 Hz a través del BAHA y un aumento considerable en discriminación de palabras en silencio (12).

Anteriormente se consideraba la implantación del BAHA sólo en adultos y adolescentes, ahora es un proceso rutinario en niños en quienes se encuentran agenesias, atresias o alteraciones en oído medio.

What is a Baha?
The Baha is a surgically implantable system for treatment of hearing loss that works through direct bone conduction. It has been used since 1977, and was cleared by the FDA in 1996 as a treatment for conductive and mixed hearing losses in the United States. In 2002, the FDA approved its use for the treatment of unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.

Baha is used to help people with chronic ear infections, congenital external auditory canal atresia and single sided deafness who cannot benefit from conventional hearing aids. The system is surgically implanted and allows sound to be conducted through the bone rather than via the middle ear - a process known as direct bone conduction.

Hi Stephen,
As you can see, the English acronym is used in Spanish as well. "Audífonos osteointegrados" is also used. Good luck!
