To date, most studies of bone anchored hearing Aid (BAHA) fitting in children have focused on long-term maintenance of osseointegration and objective audiological outcomes, with little attention given to more qualitative outcomes relating to day-to-day use. This study involved 8 participants, aged between 12 and 21 years, all of whom had worn a unilateral BAHA for at least 1 year. The aims of the study were to examine audiological, physical and psychosocial outcomes. Evaluation included audiometric testing, a semistructured interview, and two questionnaires (i.e., Glasgow Benefit Inventory and International Outcomes Inventory–Hearing Aids). Results revealed improvements in speech discrimination, sound quality and comfort for all participants. Improvements in confidence, self-image, and socialisation were also experienced. Participants expressed some dissatisfaction with localisation abilities, phone usage, and the lack of availability of ongoing service and support. Findings indicate that the BAHA offers audiological, physical and psychosocial benefits for paediatric wearers, resulting in high levels of satisfaction
