In 4 months we have treated eight patients with silicone ear buds as foreign bodies in the ear canal. When used as directed BioEars have a noise reduction of 22 decibels, ideal for use at work, to aid sleep, while swimming or to protect hearing against live music. An implant made from such cells cultured on a polymer scaffold has previously been reported in China.
