Is the Carina Fully Implantable Hearing Device experimental?
No. Otologics has been developing, manufacturing, and implanting middle ear implants for seven years. Carina has completed rigorous trials in Europe and is now CE marked and commercially available. Clinical trials are underway in the United States. Otologics technology is based on over thirty years of research led by Dr. John M. Fredrickson, MD, PhD, a surgeon and researcher from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.
