title: Current status and future of implantable electromagnetic hearing aids.
abstract: Partially implantable electromagnetic hearing aids have several potential advantages over conventional hearing aids. As conventional hearing aids improve in the quality of sound they deliver, however, the role of implant aids must be redefined. One area where they may provide the most benefit is in patients with moderate to severe hearing loss.
