Invisible hearing: new implant hides under the skin
NCT ID NCT07139327
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new type of cochlear implant that is completely hidden under the skin, with no external processor. It is designed for adults with severe hearing loss who do not get enough benefit from hearing aids. The implant picks up sound through a microphone under the skin, and researchers will check how well it helps people hear and understand speech.
