What if hearing with a cochlear implant could feel more natural—not just louder or clearer, but truly aligned with you? For MED-EL cochlear implant users Mariia, Nandini, and Tracie, that’s exactly what anatomy-based fitting (ABF) did. Read on to find out how anatomy-based fitting can improve your hearing experience with a cochlear implant.
You can’t benefit from a cochlear implant without having surgery. But what does cochlear implant surgery involve, how long does it take, and how is new technology making it more precise than ever before? Let’s take a closer look.
Every ear is different. So every CI fitting should be different. Enter anatomy-based fitting—one key to individualized cochlear implants.
Cochleae come in all shapes and sizes, and with OTOPLAN software, your surgeon can select the right electrode array to fit your individual cochlea. That way your cochlear implant can bring you closest to natural hearing. OTOPLAN, in combination with MED-EL’s broad portfolio of electrode arrays, makes cochlear implant individualization possible.
There is no cochlear implant without a first fitting. After having their CI implanted, every user needs audiological adjustments in order to best adapt the implant system to individual requirements and hearing needs.
