What is the future of Cochlear Implants?
The research and development of better, more powerful and comfortable cochlear implant is a continuing process. Many scientists believe that it will not be long before a completely in the ear cochlear implant is evolved which will include an inbuilt microphone and a lifetime battery. New multifunction cochlear implants have been envisaged which will help different kinds of patients who have auditory disabilities and other allied disabilities like vision loss or loss of voice. Cochlear Implant development scientists are looking at new possibilities and possible users who will benefit with more effective cochlear implants. Some scientists are attempting to design small cochlear implants which work on the same principles of magnetic resonance imaging making the technique of hearing through the bionic ear simple. In the future scientists hope that Cochlear implant rehabilitation will be done using extension services or teleservices to reduce frequent visits to a hospital or cochlear implan
