How MED-EL Cochlear Implant Design Supports Speech Understanding in Noise
Catching every syllable of a person talking in a crowded place is a challenging task for CI users. MED-EL supports understanding of speech in noise (SIN) through a unique, synergistic design pathway: long electrodes for apical stimulation, fine structure signal processing on low-frequency channels, anatomy-based fitting (ABF) for individualized place-pitch alignment, adaptive sound management for listening comfort and ease, and long-term rehabilitation.
Anatomy-Based Fitting: A Love Letter From an Audiologist
Nandini is an audiologist—with hearing loss. She recently took the leap and got a cochlear implant. Now she can speak from personal experience about what hearing with a MED-EL cochlear implant is like. Read on to learn what a huge difference anatomy-based fitting can make.
“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.
OTOGUIDE: A New Precision Surgery Tool for Individualized Cochlear Implantation
OTOGUIDE: Precision you can see. You know OTOPLAN,* OTODRIVE,** and OTOARM. And now there’s OTOGUIDE, our new intraoperative software that enables you to see electrode array insertion like never before.
What Makes HearCare MED-EL So Exciting?
Today, we’re getting unique insights into using Remote Care in routine clinical practice—we’ll learn more about providing audiological care via the MAESTRO software and the HearCare MED-EL app, which can be done anytime, anywhere. Prof. Andreas Büchner describes firsthand how this pioneering technology is used at the DHZ (German Hearing Center) in Hanover, its benefits, and its implications for patients and clinical staff.
Introducing: The Quality of Life in People With Hearing Loss Questionnaire
Clinicians and researchers can use the new “Quality of Life in People with Hearing Loss Questionnaire (HL-QoL)” to assess how hearing loss and treatment affect an individual’s quality of life. As the first validated questionnaire based on the WHO’s international classification of functioning, disability, and health, it is designed to assess hearing outcomes while providing a holistic perspective.
