The devices use a combination of  surgically implanted electrodes that stimulate auditory nerve pathways  and an external sound processor worn behind the ear to provide hearing  sensations. Although cochlear implants are considered standard-of-care  treatment for severe-to-profound hearing loss, the quality of hearing is  not on par with normal fidelity and a number of recipients may  experience only marginal hearing restoration.<\/p>\n<p>Using 国产传媒\u2019s patent-pending nonsurgical process, audiologists are  able to fine-tune and customize cochlear implant programming, providing  improved sound quality and clarity. \u201cOur  automated image-guided programming method can dramatically improve a  person\u2019s hearing with a cochlear implant, even if implantation happened a  long time ago.
