The Greatest Breakthrough-Esteem Hearing Implant On The News
Do you know how it feels when everything around you is silent? You can't hear the bus blow their horn, you can't hear your dogs bark or you can't even hear a word your son says. For many, having a life like this is unbearable but for some it has become their way of life. 9-22 out of 1,000 people are suffering from hearing loss. Some of this might have occurred at birth and some have developed the hearing loss while growing up.
There have been different methods to treat hearing loss like hearing aids or cochlear implants. For a time, these technologies were the best option for someone with a hearing disability to have a shot at hearing. Recently, a high-end medical technology has been engineered to combat hearing loss and several inconveniences brought about by the use of known hearing aids. The Esteem hearing implant by Envoy Medical works more differently than common hearing aids. While hearing aids amplify external sound to help the person hear better, the Esteem implant functions by helping the inner structures of the ear transmit the signals to the brain faster and more efficiently.
A video of Sloan Chuman in Youtube have gone viral when her husband took a video of her hearing her voice for the first time in 29 years! Sloan burst into tears and could not believe that she can finally hear again. This video has been featured several times over the news and several talk shows. Sloan, her husband and mother-in-law was invited to an episode of the €Ellen Show' and this changed their lives. Envoy Medical gave back the $30,000 that they spent for the implant and promised to give her the second implant for free!
Dr. Max Max Gomez featured this technology in CBS New York while Dr. Ordon of €The Doctor' explained how the Esteem implant works. The Implant is placed at the back of the ear. It is positioned in the subcutaneous area where it is between the skin and the bones. There will be no external part of the implant that could be seen outside the ear, the incision will also be almost invisible. According to Dr. Ordon, €it's a big difference, it is a big innovation€.
Dr. Michael Glascock a renowned ear surgeon also had the Esteem implant for himself. It is rather ironical for an ear surgeon to be suffering from hearing loss himself. He said it made his life difficult that he could no longer do the activities that he loved doing like swimming. This hearing problem also made it difficult for him to perform while in the operating room. For years it required him to lip-read to be able to understand his patients but everything went better after the Esteem implant was turned on.
The state of the art implant although very effective and convenient is also very expensive. It costs $30,000 per implant and is not covered by health insurance. However there are other means like cashing your retirement in advance to be able to get the amount that is required for the implant. The $30,000 will cover the entire cost of the surgery including follow-up checkups.
