High-frequency hearing loss can be particularly challenging to treat. These patients have minimal hearing loss in the low frequencies (125–1000 Hz), so they are not traditional cochlear implant candidates. However, with severe-to-profound high-frequency hearing loss, hearing aids often do not provide enough benefit. Even with the use of frequency compression or frequency transposition technology in hearing aids, speech understanding can still be very difficult.1,2

That’s why MED-EL created Electric Acoustic Stimulation (EAS) systems to address the specific challenges of high-frequency hearing loss. An EAS system is a two-part approach that combines:

For patients with minimal low-frequency hearing loss and severe-to-profound high-frequency hearing loss, EAS can ...
