New Synchrotron Imaging Findings: Implications for Individualized Cochlear Implantation

We have now long understood the extensive variability in cochlear size, shape, and morphology, and in recent years, research into this topic has increased. The study of cochlear length dates back to the early 19th century, but recent imaging research has revealed more insights into cochlear anatomy. With the advancement of clinical imaging and software, individual assessment is now possible as part of a clinical routine.

“Low Frequencies Are Underappreciated” — Restoring the Missing Half of CI Hearing

Renowned ENT surgeon Prof. Paul Van de Heyning argues that low frequencies, long electrodes, and anatomy-based fitting can reshape cochlear implant care. Find the key messages of his lecture at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in this article—and watch the embedded recording of his presentation for full information.

Group of people seated around a table during a meeting or workshop, with several water bottles, notebooks, and smartphones visible. Two participants in the center look down at their devices and papers, while name cards—one reading “Adelaide” and another “berhane”—are placed on the table. The setting appears to be a conference room with glass doors featuring a geometric patterned design and a visible “PULL” sign on the door.

Empowering Hearing Rehabilitation in Emerging Countries: A Sustainable Approach

The Hearing Healthcare Alliance (HHA)—a strategic partnership between MED-EL and the Austrian Development Agency—worked to enhance the diagnosis and rehabilitation of individuals with hearing loss across numerous countries in the Global South.
