MED-EL is here to support you every step of the way on your hearing journey. Families in more than 137 countries enjoy the gift of hearing with the help of a MED-EL system, supported by rehabilitation resources and excellent customer service when you need it.
The SYNCHRONY 2 Cochlear Implant System
MED-EL cochlear implants use advanced coding strategies, designed to give you the closest to natural hearing of any CI system. This helps you hear the high and low tones, and the fine details of both everyday conversations and your favourite songs. What’s more, our cochlear implants are individualised, so that the electrode array fits your individual cochlea. This way, you can make the most of your cochlear implant and experience the best hearing you possibly can.
A cochlear implant is a decision for a lifetime, and MED-EL will be with you all the way.
True Gold Standard in MRI – no pain, no hearing downtime
Our SYNCHRONY 2 implants have outstanding MRI safety* and are covered by our MRI Guarantee, meaning you’re prepared for whatever life brings. With a MED-EL cochlear implant you can undergo high-resolution MRI scans at 3.0 Tesla without the need for additional surgeries to remove and replace your implant magnet.
* The SYNCHRONY 2 or SYNCHRONY cochlear implants are MR conditional. Recipients with a SYNCHRONY 2 or SYNCHRONY cochlear implant may be safely MRI scanned at 0.2, 1.0, 1.5, and 3.0 Tesla following the conditions detailed in the instructions for use.
