Hybrid Cochlear Implants Hearing Aids

Cochlear hybrid hearing solutions can enhance your natural low frequency hearing before or after surgery while providing access to the sounds you re missing for a richer experience.

Hybrid cochlear implants hearing aids.

Cochlear hybrid hearing is a combination of hearing aid and cochlear implant technologies which use electro acoustic input. This means it combines the electro stimulation technology used in normal cochlear implants with the acoustic amplification technology used in hearing aids. The hybrid implant system is approved for those with high frequency hearing loss which is normal to moderate low frequency hearing loss but severe to profound high frequency hearing before surgery. It uses acoustic amplification of the natural low frequency hearing you may have after surgery while taking advantage of cochlear implant technology to restore access to the sounds you re missing.

Cochlear hybrid hearing has two parts. The hybrid implant system uses a unique electrode that is designed to preserve your natural hearing before surgery and it s the first fda approved electrode of its kind. If you experience high frequency or ski slope hearing loss where you have normal to moderate low frequency hearing loss but severe to profound high frequency hearing loss the cochlear nucleus hybrid implant system may be a solution. It combines cochlear implant and hearing aid technologies in one package.

Hybrid cochlear implants use electro acoustic stimulation eas to improve an individual s hearing. Hybrid cochlear implants also known as electro acoustic implants can help adults with high frequency hearing loss.
