“…As the audioprocessor as well as power supply are external yet necessary components of these devices, they are called semi-implantable. One device, Bonebridge (MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria), is commercially available since 2012 ( Ihler, Volbers, Blum, Matthias, & Canis, 2014 ; G. Sprinzl et al., 2013 ; G. M. Sprinzl & Wolf-Magele, 2015 ; Zernotti & Sarasty, 2015 ). Another similar device was developed independently and is currently being tested in clinical studies ( Reinfeldt, Hakansson, Taghavi, Fredén Jansson, & Eeg-Olofsson, 2015 ; Taghavi et al., 2015 ).…”
