: Hearpeers Mentor and SAMBA 2 user Brian was first diagnosed with conductive hearing loss in 2021.

When making the decision to receive a BONEBRIDGE implant, he turned to his own Hearpeers Mentor to answer lifestyle questions and reassure him that his community had his back. 👍

After implantation and some adjustments from his audiologist, Brian was able to hear small sounds around the house, including squeaking floors and the shuffle of his feet.

Happy !

This year’s campaign, “Together for Health. Stand with Science,” encourages everyone to stand with science by engaging with evidence, facts, and science-based guidance to protect health. These themes have been at the core of who we are at MED-EL since our founding.

Because of this, we are constantly researching new advancements in hearing health, and how those can be best applied. At the end of last year, we announced our historic FDA approval for cochlear implantation in children as young as 7 months.

To participate in this year’s World Health Day theme, we’re sharing our blog highlighting the scientific data behind our latest FDA approval study, further demonstrating the benefits of early implantation.

Take a look at the data in our blog below to learn more.🔍
