Replacement of a Bone-Anchored Hearing Implant

Maine rates for HCPCS 69717

Surgery to replace a hearing implant anchored into the skull bone behind the ear, taking out the existing device and fitting a new one in its place. These implants carry sound as vibration through the bone to the inner ear, for people whose hearing loss is not helped by an ordinary hearing aid. Replacement is done when the device fails, the anchor loosens, or the surrounding bone and skin need attention.
