Advanced hearing implant systems are complex electronic medical devices that are used for providing the experience of hearing to persons with severe hearing deficiencies that cannot be treated with conventional hearing aids.
Through bypassing damaged parts of the ear they stimulate the hearing nerve directly and thus provide a most natural hearing experience.
MED-EL offers the broadest product portfolio of hearing implant systems worldwide for various degrees of hearing loss:
Three product systems including several interchangeable components are designed for clinicians and recipients to select the best possible solution for each individual case of hearing loss. This includes state-of-the-art cochlear implants; the world’s first fully integrated system for Electric Acoustic Stimulation (EAS®), designed for individuals with residual hearing, and VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE®, the unique middle ear implant system that represents an implantable alternative to conventional hearing devices.
Tens of thousands of adults and children all over the world have experienced the world of sounds following a loss of hearing or following congenital deafness. On average, every hour a person somewhere in the world is fitted with a MED-EL hearing implant system.
