What's your review of Cochlear Osia 2 System?

I am new to the group. Currently have a BAHA 6, love it but consistently having staff infection around the abutment.
My doctor recommended the OSIA 2 to replace it. Finding very little data from anyone who currently has one.
What is battery life if streaming what I have scene suggest three days max, is this true? How about the location where the processor goes does hair need to be short? Looking forward to a response from someone who currently has an OSIA 2 thanks.

Hi Galyeanr-
I've had the Osia 2 since January 2021. I highly recommend it to those who can benefit from bone conduction hearing devices. Your hair will only need to be cut short (shaved actually) at the implant site for the surgery itself (the surgery folks shave it). I have long hair and it doesn't bother the Osia at all. The Osia is super comfortable to wear. I don't feel it at all while I'm wearing it. My batteries last about two days. The Osia uses the Power One Cochlear Implant Batteries, which aren't crazy expensive (about $65 for 120 batteries, so about $80+/year). I've had no site irritations or infections whatsoever with the Osia. I've posted some pics below of the site post-surgery and the Osia/hair after healing. I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, just ask!
