The communities on this list have helped so many, and they’ve helped us connect with you. With so many people looking for communities of others who can help them get answers and support, we’ve now made this list public. Better yet, we’re asking you to help us add to the list and grow it even further. Read on for access and to get the full scoop on how it works.

I’ve had a BAHA on my left side for many years. I’ll spare you all the unnecessary details, except that I’m older now (68) and audiology department said they won’t upgrade the BAHA because my right ear has deteriorated and I’m no longer a candidate for a BAHA.
So, with that said, I want to get the abutment removed. I would like to hear from others who have done that and what, if any, problems they had after it was removed. The Dr who is going to remove it said the area around the implant may be prone to infections.
With all that said, if there’s anybody who have had the abutment removed, I would like to get your feedback on that. Thanks in advance.
