Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Otolaryngology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Cochlear implants are the primary treatment for profound deafness in adults and children unresponsive to traditional hearing aids.
  • This technology converts sound into electrical currents to stimulate the cochlear auditory nerves, creating a sensation of hearing.

Observation:

  • The Nucleus cochlear implant system, developed through extensive research at the University of Melbourne and Cochlear Proprietary Limited, is FDA-approved.
  • Over 3000 patients, including adults and children, have received the Nucleus Mini-22 implant worldwide.
  • Continuous improvements enhance the performance and usability of the Nucleus system.

Findings:

  • The Nucleus cochlear implant system has been successfully implanted in over 3000 patients globally.
