Hearing is the only human sense that has been successfully restored to date by the invention of the cochlear implant, which is an incredible technological feat in the field of biomedical engineering. The Cochlear™ Hybrid™ System builds on this innovation, seamlessly integrating electrical stimulation (ie a cochlear implant) with acoustic hearing (ie a hearing aid).
The Cochlear™ Hybrid™ System is for individuals with severe to profound high frequency hearing loss, who have useful low frequency hearing. By effectively restoring their hearing loss, Hybrid enables individuals to regain their ability to communicate easily and enhances their appreciation of environmental sounds.
This project won the Innovation Award in the 2009 Australian Engineering Excellence Awards.
