What is a cochlear implant?

The implant is the internal part of the CI system that needs to be surgically implanted under the skin. It consists of a coil, a receiving stimulator, cables, and an electrode array.

The coil receives the speech processor's encoded acoustic signal, and the receiving stimulator decodes the signal and converts it into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the electrode array through the cable, and finally stimulates the spiral ganglion cells of the cochlea.

Why choose Nurotron cochlear implants?

More Electrodes

The number of electrodes in our implantable devices reaches 24+2 (24 cochlear channels + 2 extra-cochlear electrodes). There are 4 types of electrode arrays available, with 3 different lengths. Two of the electrode types have the same length but differ in their exposed electrode area. 

Doctors can choose different lengths of electrodes according to the patient’s cochlea’s actual anatomical structure and the change of the case, to achieve precise implantation and precise coverage.

SoC Chip

Nurotron has independently designed and manufactured an SoC chip for internal cochlear devices that enhances the collection and amplification of speech tones, ensuring precise sound coding.

This advanced technology significantly improves music perception and facilitates users’ clear communication in everyday life.

This chip supports rapid impedance measurement. So professionals can save measurement time during and after surgery, improving safety.

Titanium Alloy Surface

Durability and safety are important in cochlear implants. Our CI is made of titanium alloy, and has a high anti-resistance of over 2.5 joules, adhering to the stringent international standard ISO14708-7.

This robust construction ensures that the internal hearing device is highly reliable and safe for long-term use, reducing the risk of damage or failure after implantation.

From Design to Reality

Guided by the principle of “doing it right the first time”, Nurotron’s DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) department integrates product design with manufacturing processes.

This approach addresses challenges such as frequent design modifications, long development cycles, high costs, and quality control issues, ensuring that innovative designs can transition smoothly into stable production.

It is also one of the key reasons why Nurotron has been able to consistently serve over 20,000 users.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you provide training or educational materials for healthcare professionals?

Yes. Nurotron provides training sessions, educational materials, and online resources to help you stay updated on the latest advancements and best practices in cochlear implant technology and our CI system.

2. Are your cochlear implants suitable for all age groups?

Yes. Our cochlear implants can be suitable for all age groups, ranging from infants as young as 12 months to elderly adults. Early implantation is often recommended for young children to support speech and language development. (Learn more about our latest CS-20A implant.)

However, adults with profound hearing loss later in life can also benefit significantly from cochlear implants. Contact us for detailed advice.

3. What are the aftercare support do you offer for patients?

Nurotron has built a “Nurotron community” and provides 24/7 for users to help users communicate in daily life. We encourage users to share their stories with our cochlear implant solutions and connect with others in this community to receive as much support as possible.
