A fully-implantable middle ear implant system is a medical device designed to improve hearing by transmitting vibrations directly to the middle ear. It consists of an implanted capsule with a rechargeable battery and processor, along with a microphone and transducer that convert sound waves into vibrations to stimulate the auditory pathway.
These devices are typically used to treat sensorineural hearing loss or hearing impairment caused by middle and outer ear obstructions. They are surgically implanted and require inductive recharging through an external device, with regulation varying by jurisdiction based on specific device characteristics.
