The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the MED-EL ADHEAR[1], an innovative non-surgical bone conduction solution for conductive hearing loss, the company announced on May 1. Described as the “next generation of non-surgical bone conduction hearing technology,” ADHEAR consists of a patented adhesive adapter (tan-colored in the above photo) that is placed onto the skin behind the ear and is worn for 3 to 7 days at a time.

According to MED-EL[2], which has its headquarters in Durham, NC, ADHEAR is as an excellent option for people with conductive hearing loss who are not candidates for, or who would not like to undergo, bone conduction implant surgery. It is also a treatment option for candidates with single-sided deafness and normal hearing on the contralateral side.
