Auditory brainstem implants are designed for people who cannot benefit from hearing aids or cochlear implants because their auditory nerve is missing or damaged. Symptoms may include profound hearing loss, difficulty understanding spoken words and reliance on lip reading. People who may be good candidates often experience:
- Profound or total hearing loss
- Limited or no benefit from hearing aids
- Speech understanding challenges
- A missing or nonfunctional auditory nerve
Living with this level of hearing difficulty can make it harder to follow conversations, stay connected to loved ones and engage confidently in work, school or social settings. Many people describe feeling isolated or fatigued from the effort required to communicate. These challenges can impact emotional well‑being and daily independence.
House Ear Clinic remains committed to researching cutting‑edge treatment options while continuing to offer the most advanced auditory brainstem implant care available today.
