Titanium middle ear implants show good bio-compatibility and are readily integrated into the ossicular chain. Although delicate in shape, they offer excellent mechanical properties in respect to sound conduction and implantation. Initial results show Titanium to be a perfect implant material for middle ear prostheses, although long-term results are not yet available.
