MRIMRIWhy Matters

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important medical technology that lets doctors see detailed images of the inside of your body.

MRI?Will I need an

A 3.0 Tesla MRI machine uses magnets up to 600x stronger than a fridge magnet.2

Most of us will probably need at least one MRI

in our lifetime1

THAT’S STRONG ENOUGH

TO LIFT A CAR!

MRI machines use incredibly

powerful magnets.

MAGNETThat's because every cochlear implant has a small magnet inside.

especially for people with a cochlear implant.

With such powerful magnets,

it is important to ensure safety and comfort

Is it safe for me to get an MRI?

Revolutionary MagnetMED-EL’s latest cochlear implant with a

It is when you have

within its secure titanium housing.

SYNCHRONYis the only

cochlear implantthat lets you safely have

high-resolution 3.0 Tesla MRIs without surgery.3

A magnet that can freely rotate

Just like acompass needle rotatesto align with the earth’s

magnetic �eld.

That means you'll be able to hear right away after an MRI!

High-Res MRI

NO UNNECESSARY SURGERY!

In fact, in a recent study only MED-EL recipients were able to complete all of their MRI scans
