Preserving residual hearing is the key to successfully implementing EAS. For this reason, MED‑EL has designed an especially atraumatic and flexible electrode array, the FLEXEAS electrode.
FLEXEAS Electrode Array
The FLEXEAS electrode array protects the fragile structures within the cochlea from possible damage caused by electrode insertion. The electrode array is inserted only into the damaged part of the cochlea; the area which processes high frequency sound information. This flexible design can be implanted with significantly less force. MED-EL offers the most flexible electrode arrays in combination with the most advanced cochlear implant technology.
