Hybrid Cochlear Implants Hearing Aids

Cochlear hybrid hearing is a combination of hearing aid and cochlear implant technologies which use electro acoustic input.

Technology is advancing every day. 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. This means it combines the electro stimulation technology used in normal cochlear implants with the acoustic amplification technology used in hearing aids. Hybrid cochlear implants also known as electro acoustic implants can help adults with high frequency hearing loss.

Cochlear hybrid hearing has two parts. Combined with a cochlear implant they work together to provide a richer more natural hearing experience. 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. 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 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. 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.
