The advances in technology leading to rapid developments in implantable auditory devices are constantly evolving. Devices are becoming smaller, less visible, and more efficient. The ability to preserve hearing outcomes with cochlear implantation will continue to evolve as surgical techniques improve with the use of continuous feedback during the procedure as well as with intraoperative delivery of drugs and robot assistance. As engineering methods improve, there may one day be a totally implantable aid that is self-sustaining in hearing-impaired patients making them indistinguishable from patients without hearing loss.
技术进步推动了可植入听觉设备的快速发展，且这一发展仍在不断演进。设备正变得体积更小、更不易被察觉且效率更高。随着手术技术的改进，包括在手术过程中使用持续反馈以及术中给药和机器人辅助，通过人工耳蜗植入保留听力结果的能力也将持续提升。随着工程方法的改进，也许有一天会出现一种完全可植入的辅助设备，能让听力受损患者实现自我维持听力，使他们与听力正常的患者毫无差别。
