Implantation of Electromagnetic Ossicular Replacement Device
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 1994 Semi-implantable hearing aids consisting of permanent middle ear implanted magnet, either partial ossicular replacement prostheses (PORP's) or total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP's) driven by an electromagnet placed in the ear canal have been tested on six patients undergoing surgery for chronic otitis. The surgical and audiological problems

De novo topology optimization of total ossicular replacement prostheses [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2020 Conductive hearing loss, due to middle ear pathologies or traumas, affects more than 5% of the population worldwide. Passive prostheses to replace the ossicular chain mainly rely on piston-like titanium and/or hydroxyapatite devices, which in the long term suffer from extrusion.
