The Medical University of South Carolina will be the first clinical trial to test a new kind of cochlear implant for adults with hearing loss. Unlike traditional implants, the Acclaim, made by Envoy Medical, isn’t visible to others and doesn’t require daily charging.“There's an incredible amount of excitement about this device,” said Teddy McRackan, M.D., medical director of the MUSC Health Cochlear Implant Program told web.musc.edu. “The nice thing about it is that it uses the body's natural hearing bone movements to detect sound rather than an external microphone. So it's really a major advancement,” McRackan said.“It has a pickup mechanism that turns your eardrum and ear bones into the microphone,” explains Audiologist Elizabeth Camposeo, assistant director of the MUSC Health Cochlear Implant Program. "This eliminates the need to wear any external parts." The trial will focus on testing whether the Acclaim implants are able to help people with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. The trial will also monitor participants for any medical problems.You can read more here: neurotucson.com/envoy-acclaim-implant-ready-for-clinical-trials/ ... See MoreSee Less
