Targets various hearing loss types

The Vibrant Soundbridge is suited for individuals with conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss.

Direct inner ear stimulation

Unlike hearing aids, it bypasses the outer and middle ear entirely, transmitting sound vibrations directly to the inner ear via the ossicles.

Natural sound quality

By stimulating the inner ear like natural hearing, it offers a high fidelity sound experience.

Reduced risk of infection

With no components in the ear canal, it eliminates the possibility of ear infections commonly associated with hearing aids.

MRI compatibility

The implant is safe for undergoing MRI scans at 1.5 and 3 Tesla without surgery for removal.
