Auditory Brain Stem Implant

The ABI represents a crucial innovation for those with severe hearing loss where conventional treatments fall short. By bypassing the dysfunctional cochlea and auditory nerve, the ABI provides a unique solution that directly stimulates the brainstem, offering improved hearing outcomes and enhanced quality of life. Its origins in treating Neurofibromatosis type 2 highlight its specialized use in challenging cases of hearing loss.
