ADVANCED BIONICS PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND SUPPORT

When you choose AB, you benefit from world-class reliability. This means less hearing downtime, so you hear your best day-in and day-out without interruption.

There are two important aspects to consider when choosing a cochlear implant – the system itself, and the support you will receive throughout your lifetime.

THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT SYSTEM

The Implant
Implant technology is the most important consideration in a cochlear implant system. This will determine how much detailed sound information is ultimately delivered to the hearing nerve.

The Mid-Scala Electrode:

• Has the industry’s highest reliability rating
• Has the industry’s highest impact resistance (can withstand 6 Joules impact to the head)
• Is compatible with future technology – fully upgradeable without the need for additional surgery
• Has the industry’s highest number of independent current sources for precise current steering to improve pitch perception
• Has the industry’s smallest pre-curved array with low-profile, surgery-friendly design for less intrusive implantation
• Causes minimal damage to the cochlea and preserves any remaining hearing

With this advanced processing technique, detailed sound information is delivered to the hearing nerve extremely fast, mimicking how normal hearing worls, thus allowing for more natural sound.
