  • The HiRes Ultra implant offers two electrode designs, the straight HiFocus™ SlimJ electrode and the precurved HiFocus™ Mid-Scala electrode, to offer the surgeon a choice based on their practice preferences and the recipient's anatomy. (advancedbionics.com)
  • In fact, cochlear implant patients typically get vaccinations to bolster their immune response to common infections since an electrode, connecting the device to the inner ear, can become a highway for bacteria and viruses. (healthcanal.com)
Conventional cochlear implant2
  • This is the solution for those who hear too well to receive a conventional cochlear implant, but who cannot use a conventional hearing aid. (hear-it.org)
  • Patients who lack functioning hair cells in a certain region may in the future benefit from the use of a conventional cochlear implant and a laser-based one integrated in a single device. (europa.eu)

Bone conduction implant1
  • Discover what makes BONEBRIDGE the world's first active bone conduction implant. (medel.com)
Pulses2
  • The HiRes family of cochlear implant was designed to deliver all of the loudness, pitch, and timing information that is essential for natural sound perception and appreciation of music: it automatically encodes the widest range of intensities (up to 80 decibels), it is capable of delivering frequency information to 120 cochlear places using a patented delivery method called current steering, and it provides up to 83,000 pulses per second 1 . (advancedbionics.com)
  • A cochlear implant receives sounds through the outer component, processes the information and sends it to the internal element, which transmits data as electric pulses to the brain. (consumeraffairs.com)
Signals to the brain1
  • The movement of the stereocilia causes in influx of potassium ions that stimulates the hair cells cells to release the neurotransmitter glutamate, which makes the cochlear nerve send signals to the brain, which creates the experience of sound. (wikipedia.org)
Implantations2
  • This retrospective single-center study analyzed a consecutive series of 63 cochlear implantations with various straight electrodes. (ajnr.org)
  • In 2007, Zrenner carried out 11 so-called 'acute implantations' whereby the device is implanted in the patient's eye for a relatively brief period of three months before being removed again. (wired.co.uk)

Sound waves3
  • The Organ of Corti (which contains the "hair cells" for detecting sound waves) rests between the scala tympani and the fluid of the cochlear duct. (hubpages.com)
  • Unlike conventional implants which use electric currents, optoacoustic stimulation relies on functional hair cells to convert sound waves to electric signal. (europa.eu)
  • Fluid in the middle ear makes it hard for the small bones to carry sound waves from the ear drum to the cochlear. (cyh.com)
