The Brainstem Implant market is a specialized segment of the Hearing Aids and Implants industry. It is focused on providing solutions for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss who are unable to benefit from traditional hearing aids. Brainstem Implants are surgically implanted devices that directly stimulate the auditory nerve, bypassing the damaged parts of the ear. This technology is still relatively new, but has been shown to provide a significant improvement in hearing for those who have been implanted. Brainstem Implants are typically used as a last resort for those who have not been able to benefit from traditional hearing aids. The cost of the implant and the associated surgery can be prohibitively expensive for many, and the procedure is not without risks. As such, the Brainstem Implant market is still relatively small. Companies in the Brainstem Implant market include Cochlear, MED-EL, and Advanced Bionics. Show Less Read more
