Bone anchored hearing aids are well established for canal atresia, otosclerosis and chronic suppurative otitis media. Refinements in technique to maximise gain while keeping the complications to a minimum are desirable. This study was taken up in order to explore the potential advantage of a second or spare fixture placed at the time of primary surgery. A group of patients who underwent BAHA insertion at The Emmeline Centre for Cochlear Implants and Bone Anchored Hearing Aids, Addenbrookes hospital, Cambridge, UK with the placement of a spare fixture between 1999 and 2002 were compared to those patients with one fixture BAHA undertaken from 1991. Main outcome measures were complications encountered and duration of disability, (i.e. loss of hearing while waiting for new fixture placement). Both groups had similar incidence of complications, but the group with two fixtures suffered a shorter period of disability when a fixture failed. In our experience the use of second or spare fixture reduces the duration of disability. It engenders no additional complications with minimal extra cost.
