Meeting the cochlear implant makers
So who are the cochlear implant makers? During the Ideas for Ears winners event, those who have benefited from a MED-EL hearing implant also had the chance to meet the cochlear implant makers, as in the very persons who made their implant.
“Every MED-EL cochlear implant has its own unique serial number so those who are MED-EL users will be able to meet the team who actually made their implant!” added Geoffrey Ball.
Here is a selection of photos from the emotional meetings with the MED-EL staff who were involved in the making of the cochlear implants.
