It offers artificial hearing to individuals with profound sensorineural hearing loss and with insufficient benefit from conventional hearing aids. The first implants provided a limited sensation of sound. The benefit for users of these early systems was mostly a facilitation of lip-reading based communication rather than an understanding of speech. Considerable progress has been made since then. Today, cochlear implantation is the recommended treatment for subjects presenting with a permanent sensorineural hearing loss. Modern, multichannel implant systems feature complex speech processing strategies, high stimulation rates and multiple sites of stimulation in the cochlea. Equipped with such a state-of-the-art system, the majority of recipients today can communicate orally without visual cues and can even use the telephone.",[9],[21,22],"CI","Hearing implant",[24,29],{"name":25,"role":26,"phone":27,"phoneExt":10,"email":28},"Martin Eisendle","CONTACT","+43577881694","martin.eisendle@medel.com",{"name":30,"role":26,"phone":27,"phoneExt":10,"email":31},"Jasmine Rinnofner","jasmine.rinnofner@medel.com",[33],{"facility":34,"status":10,"city":35,"state":10,"zip":36,"country":37,"countryCode":38,"cosmosGeoPoint":39,"geoPoint":44,"contacts":45},"Inselspital, Universitätsspital Bern, Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Audiology","Bern","3010","Switzerland","CH",{"type":40,"coordinates":41},"Point",[42,43],7.44744,46.94809,{"lat":43,"lon":42},[46,50,54,56],{"name":47,"role":26,"phone":48,"phoneExt":10,"email":49},"Martin Kompis, Prof. Dr. med.
