For some people with bilateral hearing loss, a hearing aid may provide enough amplification for one ear, but a cochlear implant may be appropriate for more severe hearing loss in the other ear. Aural rehabilitation can help these users get the most out of both hearing devices.

The latest MAESTRO cochlear implant fitting software comes with some practical new features, including color-coded IFT heat maps. IFT results are measured in seconds, and you can see the impedance status intuitively at a single glance.

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.

A new user interface, fully automatic 3D reconstruction and measurement of inner ear structures, simultaneous preoperative visualizations of various electrode arrays in the cochlea, support for placement planning of cochlear and bone conduction implants, and extensive postoperative analysis tools—those are just a few of the innovative features in the newest version of OTOPLAN. This software solution makes it possible to individualize hearing implant surgery—from planning the operation to the audiological fitting—like never before.

Understanding music is a complex process. MED-EL's cochlear implant technology makes it possible for users to perceive and appreciate music.
