For Your Unique Cochlea
The electrode array is the long wire at the end of a cochlear implant. This wire stimulates your cochlea, sending sound signals to your brain so you can hear. Our electrode arrays can cover your whole cochlea to give you the closest to natural hearing. But cochleae come in all different shapes and sizes. So that your surgeon can choose the right solution for your unique cochlea, MED-EL offers the largest range of electrode arrays.
Personalized Planning
To give your surgeon even more power to pick the right electrode array for you, we introduced OTOPLAN*, designed specifically for MED-EL implants. This powerful surgical planning software lets your surgeon view your unique anatomy, compare how each electrode array could fit your individual cochlea, and choose the electrode array that’s right for you.
Pitch-Perfect Fitting
After surgery, your audiologist will activate your cochlear implant and fit your new audio processor. Using OTOPLAN, they can see exactly where each electrode is sitting in your cochlea. With this information, your audiologist can fit your implant more precisely to the natural pitches in your cochlea. So with a MED-EL cochlear implant, your brain won’t have to adjust to as much mismatch, and you can experience closest to natural hearing.
