They are being performed here, its all hush hush,

I believe they have done some and a couple have failed, but I cant remember

the research and evidence based report.

Its the next step forwards in the audiology world!

I was able to dig through a few abstracts of articles and found the

same here in the US. I believe the HOUSE Ear Institute in LA has

done a couple hundred on older patients. What I read coming out of

Italy, in particular, and other parts of Europe and China is very

promising. They have done some on patients younger than 2 and some

of the articles are reporting success rates just lower than what is

found with cochlear implants.

Something to keep in mind...

Hi Michele S.!

Sorry for the delay. An auditory brainstem implant is a device that

is implanted directly into the brain because the person's auditory

nerves are not working or are not there, like my daughter. These

users can't get a cochlear implant for this reason-because the

problem is in a different place.

Hey -

My husband was quite disappointed to find out they're not doing them

in Canada yet. He's still holding out hope I'll head north... :-)
