Researchers Develop Biocompatible Microphone for Fully Internal Cochlear Implants

Jul 22, 2024, 04:12 AM

Researchers at MIT, Harvard, Mass Eye and Ear, and Columbia have developed a biocompatible microphone that could lead to fully internal cochlear implants that sit entirely in the ear canal, eliminating the need for cumbersome external hardware. This innovation represents a significant advancement in the field of auditory prosthetics, potentially improving the quality of life for individuals with hearing impairments. The implantable microphone is a breakthrough in making cochlear implants more discreet and comfortable for users.
