From earwax to ear infections, many issues can prevent sound from making its way through the outer and middle ear to the inner ear and on to the brain. Let’s explore some common causes of acquired conductive hearing loss.
Welcome to the MED-EL Training Lab: A secret room filled with state-of-the-art equipment where visitors come to try out the latest hearing solutions and surgical technqiues. Let's go inside...
10-year-old BONEBRIDGE user Daniel from Spain talks about the life-changing decision to get a BONEBRIDGE bone conduction implant, how it improved his music enjoyment, and how it allowed him to play the cello without any restrictions.
The middle ear is made up of several tiny bones that work together to transport sound waves to the inner ear and then to our brains, enabling us to hear. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for this sensitive system to stop working. But passive middle ear implants can help people with conductive hearing loss by replacing the tiniest bones in the body.
If you have conductive or mixed hearing loss, sounds can’t reach your inner ear effectively. Enter bone conduction implants. They pick up the sounds around you and send the vibrations directly to your inner ear, skipping the damaged parts. But not all bone conduction implants are created equal.
Michaela Davert is an enthusiastic fashion and beauty advocate, college student, and BONEBRIDGE recipient from the US. She loves sharing her everyday experiences with her MED-EL device on social media and informing the world about osteogenesis imperfecta, the disability she was born with. In this blog post, she tells us what motivates her to educate her audience about these two aspects of her life.
