This presentation will discuss the clinical trial of the implantable hearing aid device at Wilford Hall Medical Center. The device has the potential to be a beneficial alternative to traditional hearing aids for individuals with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss. Individuals with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss are often dissatisfied with traditional hearing aids for several reasons such as feedback, discomfort caused by the earmold, and distorted or poor sound quality. This presentation will include discussion of candidacy and how the device works.
