Tooth Hearing Aid Gets the Go Ahead

A novel non surgical and removable hearing aid that transmits sound via the teeth to help with single sided deafness has been approved for use in Europe.
The Soundbite hearing system is a nearly ‘visible’ digital audio device and relies on a principle called bone conduction that can deliver clear, high quality sound. A small microphone unit is worn behind the ear and an easy to insert and remove dental retainer like device which requires no modification to the teeth.
