Those who have never experienced hearing loss in their life will never understand what people who struggle with hearing loss feel on a daily basis. Not being able to communicate with another person, not hearing sounds in the street or music are just some of the difficulties they have to deal with. Fortunately, there was a chance for a normal life for them.
Innovation in medicine
This is the first such operation in Poland. It consists in implanting an innovative device that significantly improves the quality of life. The first woman to be on the operating table was a young woman with severe hearing loss. He was implanted in her new middle ear implant system. It is a system that uses natural conduction of sound through the bone.
This device, with this mounting and location, today provides the highest quality of sound received from the outside, transferred to the cortical centers that determine that we can hear and understand what is reaching us. The inner part is under the skin, so it allows normal functioning. You can do sports, do everything the patient wants to do.
The outer part, i.e. the tiny sound processor, is placed under the hair and held on to the magnet of the inner part. Through the skin, it transmits acoustic information that it receives from the environment.
Hope for the hearing impaired
Such operations have so far been performed only in a few countries around the world. The new method, which also appeared in Poland, ensures a perfect transfer of all sounds – low, medium and high. Speech bandwidth is usually from 500 to 3 thousand. Hz.

However, there are a lot of people who not only want to hear and understand well, but also want to hear all other sounds well, especially music. The new method is 100 percent capable. meet their expectations.
The device is dedicated to patients with various hearing impairments. If they are not supported and the defect affects both ears, then their understanding of, for example, speech is at the level of a dozen or so percent. The implant placement allows patients to hear sounds almost as well as people with full hearing.
