In the United States, the cochlear implant system is intended for use in children 9 to 24 months of age who have bilateral profound sensorineural deafness and demonstrate limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids. Children two years of age or older may demonstrate severe to profound hearing loss bilaterally.
In Canada, the cochlear implant system is intended for use in children 12 to 24 months of age who have bilateral profound sensorineural deafness and demonstrate limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids. Children two years of age or older may demonstrate severe to profound hearing loss bilaterally.

Cochlear™ Case Studies Surgeon Panel Webinar
Cochlear provides an electrode portfolio based on three principles: performance, preservation and preference. While two thirds of our product mix is perimodiolar, Cochlear offers a mix of both perimodiolar and lateral wall electrodes. Individual use of electrodes is often based on clinic experiences, surgical anatomy or surgeon preference.
Cochlear is proud to introduce Cochlear™ Case Studies, a series that highlights relevant clinical and surgical scenarios surrounding the latest hearing industry topics and research. This first webinar will uncover the contributing factors for use of different electrodes and include dialogue on differences of opinion based on surgeon preference.
The first webinar in our Cochlear™ Case Studies Series will be hosted as a live hour-long webinar on Tuesday, February 23rd at 5pm ET. The recording will be available after the event.

The webinar will cover different surgeon experiences and preferences on the utilization of our electrode portfolio. To learn more about our offering, see below:
Slim Modiolar Electrode
The Slim Modiolar’s thin, atraumatic design is constructed to fit the natural shape of the ear. This electrode is designed for consistent placement within scala tympani with close proximity to the modiolus to maximize performance. All three surgical approaches can be used to get closer to the hearing nerve.1
Slim Straight Electrode
The Slim Straight Electrode is the thinnest lateral wall electrode on the market designed for easy insertions with variable full-length insertions up to 25 mm and designed for atraumatic insertion.2
Slim 20 Electrode
The Slim 20 Electrode is the most recent addition to Cochlear’s protfolio, which is the thinnest portfolio within the industry. This electrode provides an option for surgeons who prefer an insertion depth of up to 20 mm with a lateral wall electrode.2 Specifically, Slim 20 was designed with a basal support, optimized for insertion to 20 mm, to assist in the preservation of apical structures within the cochlea.3,4
Contour® Advance Electrode
The Contour Advance Electrode is a robust, stylet-based perimodiolar array designed for focused stimulation close to the modiolus.
