The Middle Ear Implant (MEI) market is a subset of the larger Hearing Aids and Implants market. MEIs are surgically implanted devices that are designed to improve hearing in people with severe to profound hearing loss. MEIs are typically used when hearing aids are not sufficient to provide adequate hearing. MEIs are surgically implanted into the middle ear and are connected to a receiver that is placed behind the ear. The receiver then transmits sound signals to the MEI, which then amplifies the sound and sends it to the inner ear. MEIs are typically used in cases where hearing aids are not sufficient to provide adequate hearing. MEIs are also used in cases where the patient has a conductive hearing loss, which is caused by a blockage in the middle ear. MEIs can also be used in cases where the patient has a sensorineural hearing loss, which is caused by damage to the inner ear. MEIs are becoming increasingly popular as a hearing aid option due to their ability to provide improved hearing and their minimally invasive nature. MEIs are also becoming more affordable, making them a viable option for many people. Some of the companies in the MEI market include MED-EL, Cochlear, and Sonova. Show Less Read more
