The Cochlear™ Nucleus® Implant portfolio

Cochlear™ Nucleus® Implants are designed to give you the best possible hearing performance today and for a future filled with better hearing. Our current devices are based on more than 35 years of research and innovation.

Cochlear’s implant design philosophy

  • To give you superior hearing performance
  • To suit the unique anatomy of your ear
  • For unmatched reliability
  • With the future in mind – Cochlear Nucleus Implants can support advances in sound processor technology with no extra surgery required*

Built for MRI compatibility

We designed the Nucleus Profile™ Plus Series Implant so you can have a routine 1.5 T MRI or high-definition 3.0 T MRI without removing its magnet. This means no additional surgery, no need to wear a bandage in the MRI machine, no waiting for your scan and, most importantly, no unnecessary time without sound.

Because we were the first manufacturer to introduce removable magnets, more Cochlear recipients have MRI-compatible implants than any other cochlear implant brand. Even a person implanted many years ago can access today’s MRI technology.

Unmatched reliability you can trust

When you’re deciding on a hearing implant for yourself or your child, we understand you want the very best – for today and over time.

Unlike other manufacturers, we meet and report against the independent global standards for implant reliability, publishing data for every implant generation, past and present.

So when you choose a Cochlear Nucleus implant, you can trust that you’ve chosen the most reliable in the world.

Designed for discretion

The Nucleus Profile and Profile Plus Series Implants are the thinnest in the world and have a flexible coil designed to better fit the natural shape of your head.

The sleek, streamlined shape of Cochlear’s latest generation implants offer a more discreet appearance than other, thicker devices. This is crucial for children and seniors with thinner, sensitive skin.

The world’s most chosen implants

With more than 379,000 registered Cochlear Nucleus Implants worldwide, when you choose Cochlear you’re joining the largest community of cochlear implant recipients in the world.

The Nucleus CI24RE is the world’s most widely used cochlear implant. It has already helped to improve hearing in more than 186,000 ears.

Electrodes designed for performance

The electrode array is the part of the implant that goes into your inner ear. Its design is vital to giving you the best possible hearing.

We design our precision electrodes to:

  • Deliver the best possible hearing in both quiet and noisy environments.
  • Sit where nerve stimulation is most effective – to help you access a full range of sound.
  • Preserve the delicate internal structures of the inner ear.
  • Help you distinguish more pitches and experience sound in a more natural way.
  • Give hearing specialists greater flexibility to adapt your implant program as your hearing needs change.

Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor

With the Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor you can take control of your hearing and connect with the technology and people you love like never before.

Connect to your world like never before

You can stream calls, video, music and entertainment directly to your Nucleus 7 Sound Processor from a compatible smartphone. You can also stay connected to friends and family as you stream calls and entertainment from any Bluetooth device using the Cochlear Wireless Phone Clip.

Control at your fingertips

360 degree sound control

The Nucleus 7 Sound Processor features SmartSound® iQ with SCAN, which is designed to automatically make hundreds of decisions every day to optimize your hearing performance, so that you don’t have to3. Our dual microphone technology helps to filter out background noise so you can hear more of what you want, especially when it’s noisy.

And with ForwardFocus, which is an additional control feature that reduces noise coming from behind you, you can more easily enjoy face-to-face conversations in challenging listening environments such as in a café or restaurant.

Small, light and comfortable

The Nucleus 7 Sound Processor is the smallest and lightest behind-the-ear hearing solution that combines comfort with advanced sound processing technologies. And thanks to the new chip technology, you can enjoy a full, active day with up to 50% longer battery life.

  • Multi-colour LED display on the Nucleus CP802 Sound Processor uses different lights to signal to parents that the processor is on and the microphone is receiving sound, or that the processor needs attention – for example, if it has a flat battery.
  • Tamper-proof processor buttons are lockable to prevent children from accidentally changing settings.
