Data analyzed in this review show that: (1) the reporting quality of adverse events associated with BCHI and aMEIs is often very low; (2) adverse events associated with BCHI and aMEIs are qualitatively different and not equally frequent among devices; (3) state-of-the-art implantable BCHIs and aMEIs are a safe treatment option for hearing loss.
