Fully implantable hearing devices aim to overcome limitations of traditional hearing aids, addressing issues like cosmesis and feedback. While not yet available, these advanced hearing solutions show promise for individuals with unmet hearing needs.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Hearing Device Technology

Background:

  • Traditional hearing aids present challenges including cosmetic concerns, occlusion effect, and feedback.
  • Existing hearing solutions do not adequately serve all patients with hearing impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development and current evaluation of fully implantable hearing devices.
  • To discuss the design differences, advantages, and disadvantages of various implantable hearing devices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clinical trials for implantable hearing devices.
  • Analysis of different design approaches to overcome inherent challenges in implantable device development.

Main Results:
