Live from ESPCI2019: We’re excited to announce the launch of our new SYNCHRONY 2 Cochlear Implant! When we were developing SYNCHRONY 2, we wanted to take the most advanced cochlear implant—SYNCHRONY—and take it to a whole new level of intuitive surgical handling. We worked closely with surgeons and clinicians to create a design that offers
At CI2018, we announced the next leap forward in cochlear implants—the launch of individualized cochlear implants to provide the best outcomes for each patient’s unique cochlea. “No patient is alike, no person is alike, and we have to respect that, and we have to step forward now—step forward in this individualized medicine. –Prof. Dr. Paul
Even in a profoundly deafened cochlea, there is intricate network of living and active neural structures. If a cochlear implant electrode array deviates from the scala tympani to the scala vestibuli, a toxic inflammation can damage underlying auditory nerve structures. As Professor Helge Rask-Andersen explained, this is why structure preservation surgery should be considered essential
The human cochlea has remarkable arrangement. Along two and a half turns, natural frequency response is intricately ordered in a descending logarithmic scale. This tonotopic frequency response along the whole cochlea allows frequency mapping along a clear, logical path—the Greenwood function.1 With the Greenwood function, you can determine the natural tonotopic frequency of any point
