The device incorporates a highly durable and power-efficient electronics platform on a single miniaturized chip. It is the first implant to be capable of parallel stimulation without sound distortion due to channel interaction, thereby more precisely mimicking natural hearing for enhanced acoustic detail and clarity. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/508215 " target="blank">www.medscape.com/viewarticle/508215 </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
