Ever wondered what cochlear implants will be like one, five, or even 10 years from now? From invisible cochlear implants to robot-powered surgery, we look at what the future of cochlear implants holds.
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.
Cochlear implants have come a long way since they were introduced in the 1970s. Some of the most notable advancements of the last few years have had to do with how the audio processor, well, processes sound: technologies like Wind Noise Reduction, for example. That wording sounds great, doesn’t it? “Noise Reduction.” But what is the noise, and how does it reduce it?
At MED-EL headquarters in Austria, we connect the brightest minds from around the world together to create the future for hearing implant technologies. In the first of a series of guest posts, we will introduce you to the expert scientists, researchers, and engineers from around the globe who are working on bringing hearing to the world.
Do things sound foggy, or really far away? This may be a sign of conductive hearing loss. Last week we introduced you to what is sensorineural hearing loss. In this post, we break down all-things conductive hearing loss, including what can cause it, what it sounds like, and treatment options. Before starting to learn about
