“…The feasibility study indicated aided hearing and speech perception in quiet to be better than optimally fit hearing aids; however, residual hearing was affected. 31 Using a smaller, lighter magnet in the phase 2 study, the average shift in unaided hearing thresholds was brought down to below 5 dB. 32 The effectiveness of the SOUNDTEC has been demonstrated in a few studies; [32][33][34][35] however, the device was withdrawn from the market to investigate an unexpected adverse event.…”

Objective (s)Energy emitting, active middle ear implants (aMEI) have taken more than two decades of research to reach technological sophistication, medical safety, and regulatory approval to become a powerful tool in treating sensorineural, conductive, and mixed hearing loss. The present review covers this era.Data SourceLiterature found from searching Pubmed (MEDLINE); EMBASE, SciSearch, German Medical Science Journals and Meetings, and The Cochrane Library; and published as of February 2017. Study bibliographies were hand‐searched to find further materials.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies evaluating the safety, efficacy, effectiveness, and subjective outcomes of partially implantable aMEIs. Data were extracted on systems with regulatory approval and summarized narratively. Meta‐analyses were conducted for aMEIs with more than 25 publications. Study selection, data extraction, and quality appraisal for quantitative data synthesis was carried out by two reviewers.ResultsFour hundred thirty‐one studies included in narrative synthesis describe that albeit good audiological outcomes, clinical safety and (dis)investment are major barriers to continued market access. The synthesised risk of adverse events was three fold with the MET than with the VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE. With the latter system, audiological outcomes were stable and similar for all indications and age groups.ConclusionTo date, the majority of the literature covers the clinical application of the VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE system as it is applicable to a wide range of otologic and audiological conditions, particularly with the introduction of couplers to extend its clinical reach. The MAXUM and MET still have to find their way into surgical routine.Level of Evidence:

“…The search for methods of transmitting amplified sounds into the inner ear by direct vibration of an implant attached to the ossicular chain involves a choice between two basic technologies: electromagnetic and piezoelectric coupling. 1 The piezoelectric crystal was first investigated as a middle ear driver by Vernon. The piezoelectric implantable hearing aid functions by connecting the ossicles to an amplifier using a piezoelectric crystal vibrator.…”

Hearing aids are the principal means of auditory rehabilitation for patients with moderate to severe sensori-neural hearing loss. Although technical improvements and modifications have improved the fidelity of conventional aids, hearing aids still have many limitations including the inherent self consciousness and social stigma attached to visible hearing aids. The recently introduced totally implantable hearing aids offer patients with hearing loss several potential advantages over conventional hearing aids. This article reviews the indications, surgical procedure, advantages and the current status of totally implantable hearing devices.
