| Popis: | The advances in technology leading to rapid developments in implantable auditory devices are constantly evolving. Devices are becoming smaller, less visible, and more efficient. The ability to preserve hearing outcomes with cochlear implantation will continue to evolve as surgical techniques improve with the use of continuous feedback during the procedure as well as with intraoperative delivery of drugs and robot assistance. As engineering methods improve, there may one day be a totally implantable aid that is self-sustaining in hearing-impaired patients making them indistinguishable from patients without hearing loss. |
