 The electrode array is the long, thin part of a cochlear implant that's inserted into the cochlear. It's made up of a collection of tiny wire leads and small contact plates at the ends of the wires. The electrode array transports electric pulses from the cochlear implant itself to the inner ear. So in a way, the electrode is the bridge between nature and the technology we use to help people here. No, in fact, there are big differences between models available for cochlear implant candidates. Some implants have short and stiff electrodes. Such electrodes are easier to make, but they have some notable disadvantages. Due to their stiffness, they can damage the delicate structures inside the inner ear. And this can lead to complications and reduced hearing performance for cochlear implant recipients. That's why we have introduced a unique flexible electrode design with wave-shaped wires to create the softest possible electrode. Our slim and flexible electrodes allow us to reach deep into the cochlear without damaging the inner ear. This lets us offer a closer to natural hearing experience, making it easier for you to embark on your hearing journey.
