The Audiologist Informer

MIT researchers developed a machine-learning technique that can capture how any sound in a room propagates through the space, and then simulates what a listener would hear at different locations. The system can also use the acoustic data to build accurate visual renderings of a room.

The Nucleus 8 Sound Processor is said to be the smallest and lightest behind-the-ear cochlear implant sound processor available in the industry and also the world's first cochlear implant sound processor ready to provide direct LE Bluetooth audio connectivity like Auracast to everyday consumer electronics.

Envoy Medical announced the first patient has been enrolled and implanted in the Acclaim Cochlear Implant early feasibility study at Mayo Clinic. If approved by the FDA, the Acclaim would be the first-of-its-kind cochlear implant designed to be fully implanted and use the ear, rather than a microphone, to pick up sound.
