Acclaim^® Cochlear Implant

Our novel implanted piezoelectric sensor uses the ear’s natural anatomy to capture sound as it enters the outer and middle ear.  Sound is therefore not artificially distorted as is common with external microphone technology found in currently available traditional hearing devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants.

Sounds gathered by the sensor are sent to the processor, where they are converted into customized electronic signals that activate the implanted electrode array and subsequently the cochlea and hearing nerve, ultimately sending sounds to the brain.

• Designed to function in environments not ideally suited for external components.
• Designed to alleviate the burden and discomfort of wearing external components all waking hours.
• Designed to use an implanted rechargeable battery intended to last several days between charges.
• Designed without an external artificial microphone. The device is intended to allow the ear's natural anatomy to pick up sounds similar to the way nature intended.
