Products
Cochlear implant systems
Surgically implanted cochlear stimulators and electrode arrays intended to restore auditory perception for severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss.
Bone-conduction implant systems
Implantable bone-conduction devices that transmit sound via skull bone conduction for conductive, mixed hearing loss or single-sided deafness.
Middle-ear implant systems
Implantable middle-ear transducer systems for conductive, mixed or certain sensorineural hearing losses as an alternative to conventional hearing aids.
Wearable external audio processors
Head- or body-worn processors that receive signals from implants and provide embedded digital signal processing, user controls, power systems and accessory connectivity for streaming and remote control.
Connectivity accessories and streamers
External accessories enabling hands-free calls, audio streaming from consumer devices, TV and remote microphones and interoperability with assistive audio systems.
