Successful Results

Recent clinical studies report successful results with the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System:

A comparative study with various cochlear implant systems indicates that the MED-EL TEMPO+ provides excellent performance on measures of speech perception in quiet and in noise.(1)

In a “Quality of Life“ survey, 84% of adult MED-EL cochlear implant users report that their cochlear implant ‘quite positively’ or ‘very positively’ affects their lifestyle.

A recent telephone study indicates that the majority of MED-EL cochlear implant users (85%) are able to use a standard or cellular telephone.(2)
