Overcoming Barriers to Cochlear Implant Uptake in Older Adults

Lack of awareness, gradual hearing loss, and financial concerns are the most common barriers to cochlear implant uptake in older adults. Learn more about how hearing professionals can help overcome these obstacles to improve quality of life for cochlear implant candidates.

With anatomy-based fitting, you can easily fine-tune the frequency map to be closer to the natural map of each cochlea and further optimize hearing outcomes.

Can Reducing Tonotopic Mismatch Improve Hearing Outcomes for New CI Users?

There is growing evidence that cochlear implant recipients may benefit more from their devices if tonotopic mismatch is reduced. After providing an overview of recent research on tonotopic mismatch, this article explores how researchers and clinicians have been working to reduce tonotopic mismatch and improve hearing outcomes for MED-EL cochlear implant recipients.

Longer Cochlear Implant Electrode Arrays Associated With Better Speech Perception

9 Reasons Why Cochlear Implant Electrodes Matter

A cochlear implant electrode serves not only as a crucial bridge between technology and nature that connects recipients to sound. The electrode array can significantly impact hearing outcomes. For instance, there is now growing consensus among researchers that stimulating more of the cochlea is associated with better speech perception and music appreciation. Here is the latest research you need to know to ensure each of your patients can benefit the most from their cochlear implant.

Replacing BAHA With BCI 602: Surgeons Agree on International Guidelines

The active, transcutaneous BONEBRIDGE BCI 602 implant offers clear advantages over percutaneous BAHA (bone-anchored hearing aid) implants. Time and again, BAHAs are explanted and replaced with BONEBRIDGE. Leading ENT surgeons have reached an international consensus and established guidelines for the explantation of a BAHA followed by implantation of BCI 602.

Remote Fitting Without Appointments & More With the HearCare MED-EL App

New Milestones Reached in Patient-Centered Cochlear Implantation & Care

We just revealed our latest innovations at CI2024 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. There we unveiled new tools to enable clinicians to provide follow-up fitting care remotely to MED-EL cochlear implant users without an appointment. We also offered a sneak peek into what’s coming soon for cochlear implantation and RONDO 3 users.
