The Early History of Cochlear Implants and MED-EL
Hundred of thousands of people around the world can hear thanks to our implants. But getting here was a long journey. It goes back almost 50 years to when MED-EL CEO Ingeborg Hochmair and her [...]
Why Structure Preservation Of The Cochlea Is So Important
The cochlea is full of delicate structures, and the goal of a cochlear implant surgery is structure preservation. Here's what MED-EL does.

Low Frequency Sounds with a Cochlear Implant
Hearing the low frequency sounds with a cochlear implant is possible due to brain plasticity, why a recipient's hearing gets lower over time.
Close Up With Cochlear Implant Electrode Arrays
Earlier we showed you a bit about how the FMT puts the “sound” in the VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE middle ear implant, and now it’s time to do the same for cochlear implant. For a CI, it’s the [...]
The History of MED-EL Electrode Arrays
One of the main parts of the implant in a cochlear implant system is the electrode. Electrodes send electrical pulses to the nerve cells within the cochlea. It sounds simple, right? But if they [...]
