Funded Activity Summary

Cochlear implants provide hearing by electrical stimulation of the hearing nerve. Even people receiving cochlear implants may have natural hearing, which is lost in up to 70% of patients through trauma caused during implantation. This is a major barrier to the adoption of cochlear implants. To overcome this, we will deliver Hear Assure, our novel hearing-monitoring product that is integrated with the cochlear implant, enabling safe positioning of the implant to minimise loss of natural hearing.
