ABSTRACT
Patients with hearing loss have been increasing according to the extension of lifespan. Recently, new technology which solves the limitation of conventional hearing aids has been developed. For example, the active middle ear implantation which can directly transfer the vibration energy to the ossicles and inner ear fluid can avoid the feedback and occlusion effect, because this device uses the electromagnetic transducer, not a microphone. Active middle ear implants give more clear sounds and more gain in high frequency area. This device can apply to the patients with ski-sloping hearing loss and severe mixed hearing loss. In the paper, we reviewed the benefits and ideal candidates of the middle ear implant.
