Abstract
An implant shield can be placed against the user's scalp to protect a bone anchored hearing aid from hair growth and other interference. Adhesives can be used to secure the implant shield to the scalp. One embodiment of the implant shield is a barrier of a flexible polymeric material having an implant opening through which an implanted or other portion of the hearing aid can extend.
