With Cochlear, you can count on three things: technical product innovation, world-class design, and lifelong commitment. Our 250,000 Nucleus recipients and thousands of hearing and educational professionals make up the largest cochlear implant community in the world. Our community is continually supported by our guiding principles.

Innovate for Leading Performance

At the heart of Cochlear’s product development is one simple idea—innovation. Whether that innovation is focused on performance or features, the principle is the same: Think of ways to deliver capabilities that nobody has thought of before, and improve those that already exist. That’s how we’ve come to lead the industry with the highest-performing, feature-packed cochlear implant systems that include:

• Revolutionary sound technology designed to mirror the intricacies of natural hearing. This means better hearing in different listening environments, including noisy, crowded places.
• Future sound processing capabilities to deliver sound to the hearing nerve with ultra-fine timing accuracy. With more than 1000 times the timing accuracy, Nucleus Freedom is designed to offer performance improvements as these advancements emerge.
• Award-winning Contour Advance™ 22-channel electrode designed to deliver clear sound to the hearing nerve and to protect the delicate cochlear structures during insertion.
• The industry’s broadest range of coding and customisation options to meet individual unique needs.
• A next-generation, digital microchip for a strong sound engine, with plenty of power to spare for future innovations.
