Who it is suitable for
EAS (electrical-acoustic stimulation) is a special type of cochlear implant in which the high frequencies are amplified via the implant and the low frequencies via a built-in hearing aid component. These two components are combined in an audio processor. Both components are combined in a single audio processor. Depending on the frequency, the audio processor converts the sound into either electrical signals or acoustic amplification.
High-frequency sensorineural hearing loss
- partial hearing loss in the high frequency range
- stable low-frequency hearing (no progression of hearing loss in this range)
- Hearing thresholds within the range shaded in the diagram that result in poor speech comprehension despite the optimal hearing aid supply
SYNCHRONY 2 EAS hearing implant
- 1
Audio processor
The audio processor captures sound signals, converts them into electrical signals and amplifies the low frequencies via the integrated hearing aid. - 2
EAS Hearing implant
The EAS hearing implant transforms the signals into electrical impulses, which are then transmitted to the cochlea via an electrode array. - 3
Cochlea
In the cochlea, nerve cells are stimulated by electrical impulses. - 4
Auditory nerve
The auditory nerve carries the electrical impulses to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound.
The benefits for your patients
* EAS SYNCHRONY 2 CI users can easily undergo 0.2, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0 Tesla MRI if the requirements of the user manual are met.
