Unique Features

Designed for Mid-Scala Placement

Designed for Optimal Insertion

Designed as the Smallest Pre-Curved Stylet Electrode

Designed for Focused Stimulation

Designed for the Surgeon

Designed for the Patient

Designed for Reliability

The patented design offers lowest insertion forces and no contact with the delicate structures of the cochlea

Ideal insertion depth and placement for maximum performance1-3

Easy and optimal surgical placement, designed to fi t safely in each individual’s cochlea

Patented electrode contacts with Mid-Scala placement provide the perfect platform for current steering

Developed for latest soft surgery techniques, including round windowinsertion, with dedicated tooling for precise control

Studies have shown that patients may retain some of their hearing when cochlea structures are undamaged during electrode insertion4,5

Robust mechanical improvements of the HiRes 90K implant that leads the industry with a 99.79% two-year cumulative survival rate (CSR)6

Why this Matters to You
