Hearing implants are electronic medical devices that carry out the work of damaged parts of the ear to provide sound signals to the brain. These implanted devices provide another treatment option for the people with hearing losses, namely- conductive, sensorineural and mixed loss. These implants help in speech therapy and provide benefits to those who have hearing loss after using other hearing aids. Patients are also able to detect and identify sounds in the environment, such as the doorbell, car horns, and the telephone. Many children are being provided with the gift of sound with the help of hearing implants.
 
The report “Global Hearing Implants Market Outlook 2020” by RNCOS highlights the increased use of hearing implants for children.  Recently, a child with poorly formed right ear and missing left ear and ear canal was given a BAHA Attract implant. BAHA is an innovative bone conduction hearing system. BAHA Attract, introduced in India last year by Cochlear Limited, is considered the most recent innovation in the technology of Osseo-integration, a phenomenon where bone integrates with titanium and forms a firm bond. With the help of BAHA system, the child is able to hear properly.
 
Similarly, doctors at the BHU Hospital of Varanasi successfully conducted cochlear implant surgery on two deaf and mute four year old children. The surgery was done free of cost under the scheme of Assistance to Disabled Persons for Purchase/Fitting of AIDS/Appliances of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University had recently signed a MoU with the Ali Yavar Jung National Institute for the Hearing Handicapped, Mumbai for cochlear implant for the hearing impaired persons under ADIP scheme.
 
Furthermore, another pediatric patient from Dallas who received cochlear implant is taking part in a clinical trial testing a new hearing technology by the name of Auditory Brain Stem Implants. It is a very rare procedure. There have been less than 200 of these implanted worldwide in children. In the U.S., auditory brainstem implants are approved by the FDA for adults and teenagers who have lost their hearing owing to nerve damage, but they have not been approved for use in younger children. Surgeons in Europe have pioneered the use of the auditory brainstem implant in children who are born deaf and can't receive a cochlear implant.
