Your journey towards sound

Getting a cochlear implant requires surgery to insert the internal part of the implant system. The surgery is relatively simple, quick and minimally invasive. Once this has healed, your audiologist can attach the sound processor, which allows you to hear.

Your doctor and audiologist can determine whether you are a candidate for a cochlear implant.

The Neuro cochlear implant system consists of two parts:

• The Neuro Zti Implant — a powerful and future-proof technology platform that enables the optimal hearing experience

Everything with the surgery went smoothly. I wore a bandage afterwards, but I had no issues.
