Improved hearing performance

Cochlear continues to deliver superior results

Each new generation of implant system from Cochlear delivers superior hearing performance along with cosmetic and usability improvements.  

Our previous generation system (Freedom) set a new industry benchmark with the highest speech recognition levels ever recorded. Now Cochlear Nucleus 5 with Nucleus CI24RE series implants delivers a 30% performance improvement in noise, one of the most challenging listening environments (Figure 1).

Adults

A cochlear implant can help deliver significant improvements in your hearing when compared with hearing aids. In a multi center clinical study, adults tested demonstrated a signicantly better hearing performance in both quiet and noise after receiving their Nucleus Cochlear Implant (See figure 2). When tested in quiet, Nucleus cochlear implant recipients demonstrated a 62% improvement at three months and 71% at 12 months when compared to hearing aids. 4

Children

A cochlear implant can help deliver crucial improvements in your child’s hearing when compared to hearing aids. In a recent Cochlear study, children tested showed a signicant improvement in just three months after receiving their processor. 5
