Head-worn bone-conduction hearing aid

Head-worn bone-conduction hearing aids are wearable devices designed to help users with hearing loss by delivering sound vibrations directly through the skull to the inner ear. Unlike traditional hearing aids, they bypass the outer and middle ear, making them suitable for conditions like earwax blockages, perforated eardrums, or external ear malformations.

These devices are generally classified based on their power output and intended use, often requiring regulatory compliance with hearing aid standards. They may be sold as prescription-only or over-the-counter products, depending on jurisdiction, and are typically supplied as single-use or reusable systems with optional accessories for comfort and protection.
