> Choosing your Cochlear Implant
> Sound Technology
With unmatched capability the Harmony system supports the most advanced sound processing strategies available today – and has headroom for innovations to come.
The HiRes 90K® cochlear implant is the perfect complement to our sound processors, delivering high resolution stimulation to the auditory nerve.
| Unmatched Capability The HiRes 90K handles 90,000 information updates coming from the Sound Processor per second -hence its name- and delivers information at a speed of 83,000 stimulations per second - the highest speed in the cochlear implant field. This makes the HiRes 90K the most versatile, flexible and sophisticated cochlear implant technology available today and it has the processing capacity to accept tomorrow’s innovations without surgery. |

Speed and Flexibility
Since its introduction in 2001, this electronic platform has already supported two strategy and sound processor upgrades and is in use by research groups around the world for future applications.
Peace of Mind
The HiRes 90K implant incorporates Advanced Bionics’ unique bi-directional telemetry, a vital communication link between the implant and the processor and a safety feature that constantly monitors and reports on the status of the implanted electronics. The HiRes 90K implant has been packaged in a hermetically sealed titanium housing that protects its sophisticated internal electronics from impact and trauma. The HiRes 90K has been demonstrated to be highly reliable consistent with industry standards.
The HiRes 90K supports a series of objective measures such as Electrically Evoked stapedius Reflex Threshold (ESRT) and Neural Response Imaging (NRI).
With a removable magnet the HiRes 90K provides reassurance that medical examinations, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), are possible.
