Advanced Bionics in Valencia, in collaboration with fellow Sonova Group subsidiary Phonak, on Thursday announced it has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration to market its cochlear implant technology platform.
The technology suite, called Marvel, offers cochlear implant sound processors for adults and children; a smartphone app for adjustments to the processor; hearing aids for those with severe hearing loss in both ears; and software to help hearing care professionals program cochlear implants, the company said in a statement.
Sound processors for cochlear implants are fitted behind the ear, capturing sound signals and sending them to an implanted receiver which bypasses inner-ear damage. Hearing aids, by contrast, simply amplify sound.
