Cochlear Implants

A cochlear implant is a medical device that helps a person with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. In contrast to a hearing aid, which simply makes sounds louder, a cochlear implant takes the place of parts in the inner ear, or cochlea, that are not working properly.

The Nucleus Freedom implant with Contour Advance electrode is the internal part of the system. It includes an electrode array which, when inserted into the cochlea (inner ear), bypasses damaged hair cells and stimulates the hearing nerve directly.
