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.

Why Does MED-EL Have So Many Electrode Arrays?
Cochleae come in different shapes and sizes, so of course MED-EL electrode arrays also come in a range of shapes and sizes. But what’s the difference between the electrode arrays, and why are [...]
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 [...]
The Early History of Cochlear Implants and MED-EL
MED-EL founder Ingeborg Hochmair was recently awarded the Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for her contributions in the history of cochlear implants. It’s a prestigious award in the [...]
