What is a Cochlear Implant?




How it works

Nucleus 6 is designed to offer people with moderate to profound hearing loss the best in hearing performance.

With sensorineural hearing loss, sound waves make their way efficiently through the outer and middle ear – just as they do in normal hearing – but then become too soft to detect or too distorted to recognise easily, as a result of damage to the inner ear.

Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear to stimulate the hearing nerve, not with sound waves or vibration, but with precise electrical signals.

Cochlear implant recipients who still benefit from hearing aids may be able to benefit from hybrid hearing – a unique combination of cochlear implant and acoustic hearing, available only with the Nucleus® 6 System.

Hearing with a cochlear implant

  • Microphones on a sound processor pick up sound waves and the processor converts them into digital information.
  • The hearing nerve fires in the cochlea pick up the signals and send them to the brain, giving the sensation of sound.

Try it for yourself

Cochlear True Wireless builds on the innovations and hearing performance of Cochlear Nucleus 6 and Baha 4 and Baha 5 sound processors. It allows sound to be wirelessly streamed direct to your sound processor for improved hearing in a range of situations and over distance.
