Are you or your relative considering undergoing cochlear implantation? We can assist and advise you on the choices available, and facilitate the process in Tanzania; from pre-operative assessments to the surgery to post- operative support. MED-EL’s versatile portfolio is at our disposable at selecting the right implant and audio processor for you, right up to the latest, Bluetooth compatible SONNET 2 and the 3 Tesla MRI safe Synchrony implant. MED-EL also boasts a selection of atraumatic electrode arrays, the industry’s finest, to preserve inner ear structures during implantation.

Processor Programming

Also known as ‘mapping’, our clinic uses a number of evidence-based methods to obtain a suitable hearing program for implantees. A combination of objective measures such as the electrically-evoked stapedial reflex threshold, eSRT (proudly the only MED-EL clinic in East Africa performing this), the compound action potential (eCAP), and behavioural measures are used to ensure the individual gets the best out of their implant.
