Abstract [en]

According to the WHO world health organization, more than five percent of the world population needs rehabilitation for hearing loss, HL. Hearing loss is known to cause many negative health implications, including cognitive decline, and social isolation. The present study has been conducted to find out the impact of Bone anchored hearing aids, BAHA, on the Quality of Life in Adults, for this purpose, a systematic literature review was carried out among three databases, CINAHL, Pub Med, and Web of Science to identify the most relevant journal articles published over the last ten years between January 2012 till January 2022. There were seven studies selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study results were synthesized, and it was found that overall BAHA shows a positive impact on Quality-of-Life QoL among its users. It has been recommended that future research should be carried out with longitudinal studies and large study samples to establish the authenticated relationship between BAHA and its positive impact on Quality of Life
