The field of Physiological bases of the cochlear implant has undergone significant changes over the past two decades. Radio‐imaging of the auditory system is one of the recent advancement for the treatment from hearing loss. Micro‐anatomy of the cochlea & its neural connections studies result in the growth of implant technologies and treatment techniques. Bio‐films in relation to ear implants present a new challenging concept in sustaining chronic, common antibiotic-resistant ear, nose, and throat (ENT) infections. Asepsis & anti‐sepsis protocols in implant the measures to prevent an infection from entering a wound are referred to as asepsis, while those to cause the exclusion or destruction of harmful microbes are generally called antisepsis. Recent advances and future directions in implant otology and audiology will bring up the mark for the hearing aid technology.
