How does Hybrid™ Hearing work?
The Cochlear™ Hybrid™ hearing solution has two parts: an external sound processor with an acoustic component and an internal implant.
The cochlear implant can help you to better hear the high frequency sounds you have been missing, whilst the acoustic component amplifies the natural low-frequency hearing you already have.
By working together, the components may provide a balanced hearing experience.
“Having the cochlear implant just means I get to have a lot more fun. I can communicate again and I can just enjoy the conversation that takes place.”*¹
- Sandy, Cochlear Hybrid Hearing recipient
