Abstract

The project explores a revolutionary advancement in hearing device technology by introducing implantable chips behind the ear. Usually, there is a sense of discomfort, and maintenance becomes a challenge for the earpieces; hence, the need for a solution that has an unrestricted style. This report sketches, starting from design, what materials to use and when implantable chips are suitable for use. These chips provide super comfort, lifelong attachment with users, and advanced communication and health monitoring functionalities. Compatibility with the human body is a vast technological advantage, ensured by using biocompatible materials like metals, polymers, and silicon. Instead of using traditional earpieces and implanting chips directly, deaf people used to have the advantage of better communication and life quality. The conceptual purpose of the project is to present an intelligent implantable microchip device for aiding people who are deaf or hard of hearing in overcoming the hurdle of hearing loss.

[...] Implantable chips represent a more humanistic and long-lasting remedy for auditory deficits because they closely conform to the body. The end goals represent communication, improving daily life, and innovating sound technology. The project endeavours to address the longstanding challenges associated with traditional hearing devices through rigorous research, development, and stakeholder collaboration. Background Hearing impairment is a prevalent sensory disability affecting millions of individuals worldwide. As for a fundamental aspect of human socialization or interaction, hearing plays a vital role in many dimensions of life, socially, educationally and in employment. [...]

[...] This enables us to overcome external microphone issues and increases such devices' functionality and comfort. The authors underline the need for the right size and compatibility of the equipment with the human body to accomplish the optimum device functionality and make it acceptable to the patients. This connotation is well in line with the latest research on the efficaciousness of the dinky design in implantable devices (Woo et al., 2015). Moreover, the topic of biocompatibility being the most emphasized further makes clear how material selection is the basis of the safety and efficacy of internal hearing devices. [...]

[...] In this sense, the article's author talks about cochlear implants as a phenomenon that might be related to the article about the chip rather than dental implants. The work of Woo et al. demonstrates an innovative approach to trans-tympanic microphones. They present a study of implantable hearing devices, offering a perspective on the future designs of hearing implant technology. According to the study, the micronized microphone is situated right within the tympanic membrane, transmitting sound directly into the inner ear. [...]

[...] - The project's objective is to Design and develop implantable chips that comply with the high biocompatibility, safety, and efficacy standards. - The project aims to enhance the functionality and progress of the implanted chips by providing improved sound transmission and the adaptation of the implants according to the personal hearing needs of each user. - The project aims to join the scientific knowledge behind implantable chips in a pair of hearing devices by identifying the specific principles and the mechanism they work with.
