The purpose and objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MET V System for the treatment of individuals with mixed hearing loss.
The MET V System is an investigational, fully-implantable middle ear hearing prosthesis. A mixed hearing loss has both a sensorineural component and a conductive component that results when sound being delivered to an impaired cochlea is attenuated by a disordered outer or middle ear.
