How MAXUM Works
The Power to Hear...
Clinically proven to provide advantages
over conventional hearing aids.
The MAXUM System is a middle ear implant consisting of a tiny rare-earth magnet implanted on the ossicles, the middle ear bones, and a processor worn in the ear canal or behind the ear. The implant procedure takes about 30 minutes and can be performed in a procedure room or outpatient clinic under a local anesthetic.
How MAXUM Works
Unlike hearing aids which uses a speaker to amplify sounds, MAXUM uses an advanced Sound Processor which sends electric signals to a transceiver coil. The coil changes these to electromagnetic signals. These signals are transferred across the eardrum to the MAXUM implant which cause the ossicles to vibrate thereby directly stimulating the cochlea (inner ear) and the microscopic hair cells that send nerve impulses to the brain that are interpreted as speech and sound.
Direct cochlear stimulation provides cleaner, crisper sound quality and more amplification without feedback.
