1) A new hearing aid called Sound Bite has been authorized for use in Europe that transmits sound through a person's teeth by placing a device on their molar. 2) It uses bone conduction to send vibrations through the teeth and bones to directly reach the inner ear, avoiding the middle ear. 3) While it may help some with hearing loss in one ear, experts warn it may not be suitable for all deaf people and many may find it uncomfortable or reject it due to aesthetic reasons like other hearing aids.

2. Create a hearing aid that is placed on teeth A new hearing device that transmits sound through the teeth of the person was authorized for use in Europe.The device, called Sound Bite, directs sound through the jaw to the inner ear. Is placed on the left or right upper molar and produced to suit each patient. Experts warn, however, the appliance may not be suitable for all deaf people.

3. Conventional hearing aids use air conduction to increase the volume of sound, but Sound Bite uses a different approach: bone conduction.First, a network of mini microphones placed behind the ear pick up sound disabled in the environment and noise-canceling.The sound is transmitted wirelessly to the prosthesis in the mouth.

4. Then the device sends vibrations through the teeth and bones directly to the cochlea, the auditory part of the inner ear, avoiding the middle ear and external.Thus, the device may help people with deafness in one ear to listen in stereo.The company that produced the system, Sonitus Medical, states that the mechanism is the first non-surgical device that uses bone conduction.

5. However, the device may not be suitable for all people with hearing loss.As stated by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID) in the United States, only in this country there are approximately nine million deaf or partially deaf.Of these, only six million people need to use a hearing aid and those six million, only about two million use it.Most non-users claim it is for aesthetic reasons, they do not like how they look with the apparatus.

6. According to Angela King, consultant in audiology RNID, there are no assurances that the new device will be well received."Just see it to imagine that it is very uncomfortable, " says the expert."Moreover, many patients refuse conventional hearing devices, may also reject it because it also requires using the small microphone behind the ear, " he adds.
