Hybrid Cochlear Implants Hearing Aids
Hybrid hearing amplifies the natural low frequency hearing you may have after cochlear implant surgery while providing access to the high frequency sounds you re missing for a richer hearing experience.
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. This means it combines the electro stimulation technology used in normal cochlear implants with the acoustic amplification technology used in hearing aids. Cochlear hybrid hearing has two parts. It combines cochlear implant and hearing aid technologies in one package.
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. 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. Technology is advancing every day.
Combined with a cochlear implant they work together to provide a richer more natural hearing experience. Hybrid cochlear implants also known as electro acoustic implants can help adults with high frequency hearing loss.
