A cochlear implant is an established, effective and long-term solution for people with moderate to profound hearing loss. Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants bypass the damaged part of the cochlea and provide stimulation to the auditory nerve. Cochlear Ltd. has been the pioneer in implant technology for over 35 years and is still the leading global expert in implantable hearing solutions, dedicated to bringing the gift of sound to people all over the world.
Wickramarachchi Hearing Care are the sole distributors of Cochlear in Sri Lanka covering the majority of cochlear implant surgeries with the help of Government and private cochlear implant programs around the island.
They have the most advanced cochlear implant system which is designed to simply help enjoy smarter hearing. Apart from being the world’s most reliable implants internally, the external processors are also worth taking a close look into.
Following are the reasons why Nucleus Systems (behind the ear sound processor) and Kanso (off the ear sound processor) are the processors with the best hearing solution:
The world is made up of many different types of sound that can be challenging for people who have difficulty in hearing. For the best hearing outcome every time, a system that can manage these different types of sound automatically is needed. Hence, the latest cochlear processors (N6 System and Kanso) has SmartSound iQ which has a range of individual technologies that are designed to work together seamlessly to help enjoy the best of the hearing world.
The implant processors are specifically designed to give the best chance of hearing in the most difficult situations. It continuously detects the sound environment you are in and switches different technologies on and off to give the best hearing in that environment. It is the world’s first truly automatic program for cochlear implants.
As the technologies advances, the processors are also becoming smaller, compact and more cosmetic friendly.
With the True Wireless range, clear speech and sound is delivered directly to the sound processor from wherever – from talking on the phone to dinner conversation with friends with the help of state-of-the-art wireless accessories.
The award-winning Cochlear Nucleus Aqua+ transforms the sound processor into a completely waterproof behind-the-ear or off-the-ear solution.
