Thinnest Cochlear Implant

Industry’s Thinnest Titanium Cochlear Implant — the Ideal Choice for all Ages

The Cochlear Nucleus 5 System features the thinnest titanium implant in the industry — 40% thinner than our previous generation and 30% thinner than any other titanium implant available.

Created in close collaboration with cochlear implant surgeons all over the world, the results are a stronger, thinner implant. Our new implant was designed to be the thinnest, making it the ideal choice for all ages — even the smallest of children.

Best hearing performance

Twenty-five years of experience, extensive collaboration with leading audiologists and surgeons from around the world, and the greatest investment in research and technological innovations mean that the Nucleus 5 System is designed to deliver the best sound possible for you. No other company matches this commitment to the recipients and healthcare professionals it serves. We believe that the result is the industry’s most superior system ever.

Industry’s best electrode array for richer, more true-to-life sound

The Nucleus 5 System features the only cochlear implant with a curved electrode array design, 22 real electrodes and access to 161 intermediate pitches ^4,5  — more than any other implant for precise hearing.

Nucleus Cochlear Implants are the most reliable on the market today

Deciding to get a cochlear implant is a big decision — in fact, a decision that should last a lifetime. One of the most important factors to consider is the reliability of your internal implant. That’s why our cochlear implants have been engineered and tested to the most stringent industry standards — the same ones used to measure the reliability of cardiac pacemakers. The result: Nucleus Cochlear Implants are the most reliable on the market today. ^6-11

Nucleus Cochlear Implants proven #1 reliability in independent clinical studies ^9-12

While all companies claim they manufacture highly reliable cochlear implants, Cochlear recommends reading the published research in reputable medical journals regarding their long-term reliability. This way you can be confident knowing the information is clinically accurate and from independent resources who are unbiased in their reporting.

In three recent independent clinical studies, reviewing the records of over 17,000 patients at 30 leading cochlear implant centers, the results published in reputable medical journals conclude that Nucleus Cochlear Implants are the industry’s most reliable on the market.^9-12 The independent research demonstrates that Nucleus delivers superior reliability results.^9-12
