Implantable Hearing Aids
Written by Annie Kwon
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recently approved the implantable hearing aids for the middle ear. They were around for a while but they were experimental. Esteem from Envoy Medical Incorporation has done clinical trials that people with implantable hearing aids can hear better and this is might be the solution for the people with moderate to severe hearing loss who do not want their hearing aids to be seen.
It’s like cochlear plants and the side effects are the same but resolvable.
The implantable hearing aids need batteries but one battery will last about 9 years. People with implantable hearing aids need surgery to replace the battery every 9 years.

No way, for me having the “cocchlear implant” in my head, i have been wearing 2 hearing adis most of my life and do love them. No way, for the surgery in my head.
There are several kinds of hearing aids can help between moderate to severe hearing loss.
If using CI, very limited activities, can’t go for MRI if needed, and can’t walk through any electronic device.
