Melbourne, Australia [The Age (registration required)]: Australian hearing implant developer Cochlear has unveiled a new implant system it says will revolutionise the lives of the hearing impaired. The Nucleus Freedom implant has been seven years in the making and cost $100 million to develop.
The new device features four tiny computers designed to give users much better clarity of sound in a range of different situations, from quiet rooms to busy streets. Unlike its implant predecessor, it can automatically adjust to different noise environments, beaming in on sounds that are important and sorting out those that are not.
