A company called Sophono that has been operating in Europe (first implant in 2006 I believe) got FDA approval June 1 for their Alpha 1(M) which funtions using a transdermal magnet to hold the oscillator to the skull (like the magnet in a CI that holds the processor to the skull) instead of the traditional titanium abutment. I think it's a pretty awesome idea.
