Introduction of the Comfort CI System: The new implant electronics and coils are now encased in one (2-channel system) or two (4-channel system) hermetically sealed ceramic housings. The new speech processor features an ear-level microphone.

Over the years around 700 adults and children received this system, including the early variant with pacemaker epoxy encapsulation.

The majority of these recipients are now using contemporary implants and enjoy further improved speech understanding.
