Presence of otological and audiological implants - what does this mean
Otological and audiological implants are devices surgically placed in the body to assist with hearing. they are designed to provide a direct route for sound to travel to the auditory nerve, bypassing any damaged parts of the ear. the implants are typically placed under the skin behind the ear and connected to a receiver-stimulator. the receiver-stimulator is then connected to a microphone, which picks up sound waves and translates them into electrical signals that are sent to the auditory nerve.
What happens during the disease - presence of otological and audiological implants
The presence of otological and audiological implants can lead to infection, inflammation, or obstruction of the middle ear, outer ear, or eustachian tube. this can cause hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, or dizziness. infection can also lead to a buildup of fluid in the middle ear or eustachian tube, which can further impair hearing and cause pain and discomfort. additionally, the presence of implants can interfere with the normal functioning of the ear, leading to further complications.
