2. Cochlear implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochlear_implant

   Reported rates of revision cochlear implant surgery vary in adults and children from 3.8% to 8% with the most common indications being device failure, infection, and migration of the implant or electrode. [46] Disequilibrium and vertigo after CI surgery can occur but the symptoms tend to be mild and short-lived. [47]

3. Anotia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anotia

   The surgical option is cosmetic reconstruction of the external ear's normal shape and repair of the ear canal. In less severe cases, the reconstruction will be sufficient to restore hearing. In grades of anotia/microtia that affect the middle ear, the surgery with the use of a bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) will likely restore the hearing ...

4. Stapedectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stapedectomy

   Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure in which the stapes bone is removed from the middle ear and replaced with a prosthesis.. If the stapes footplate is fixed in position, rather than being normally mobile, the result is a conductive hearing loss.

5. Tympanoplasty - Wikipedia

   The surgery takes 1 ⁄ 2 to 1 hour if done through the ear canal and 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 2 hours if an incision is needed. It is done under local or general anesthesia. It is done on an inpatient or day case basis and is successful 85–90% of the time. [4]

6. Microtia - Wikipedia

   Sensorineural hearing loss is not correctable by surgery, but properly fitted and adjusted hearing amplification (hearing aids) generally provide excellent rehabilitation for this hearing loss. If the hearing loss is severe to profound in both ears, the child may be a candidate for a cochlear implant (beyond the scope of this discussion).

7. Auditory brainstem implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_brainstem_implant

   An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf, due to retrocochlear hearing impairment (due to illness or injury damaging the cochlea or auditory nerve, and so precluding the use of a cochlear implant).
