First Fully Implanted Cochlear Implant Reaches Patients

Original: The first fully implanted cochlear implant reaches patients

The first cochlear implant that sits entirely inside the body, with no external components, has reached patients. Fully implantable devices remove the visible earpiece and external processor of conventional cochlear implants, which could make the technology more practical and socially comfortable for people with severe hearing loss. The development is drawing attention among technology and medical readers interested in how far implantable hearing devices have progressed.

Why now: A milestone in fully implantable hearing technology has reached real patients, a notable step beyond conventional cochlear implants.
