Implantable hearing devices are advanced options for individuals who do not receive enough benefit from traditional hearing aids. These systems use surgically placed components to deliver sound more effectively, depending on the type and cause of hearing loss. Our audiologists provide thorough evaluations and work closely with ENT physicians to determine the most appropriate solution for each patient.
Cochlear implants are designed for individuals with moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss who receive limited benefit from appropriately fitted hearing aids. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sound, cochlear implants use advanced technology to convert sound into electrical signals that provide improved access to speech and environmental sounds.
Cochlear implant systems include:
We offer cochlear implant technologies from:
Bone-anchored hearing systems are designed for individuals with conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, or single-sided deafness (SSD). These devices differ fundamentally from cochlear implants and are not a type of cochlear implant.
Bone-anchored systems use bone conduction to transmit sound vibrations directly to a functioning inner ear, bypassing the outer and middle ear. A small implant placed in the skull bone behind the ear anchors the system, while an external sound processor captures sound and converts it into vibrations that travel through the bone to the cochlea.
We offer bone-anchored solutions from Cochlear Americas, including:
