- Brand Name: HiResolution" Bionic Ear System Product Name: HiRes Ultra 3D CI HiFocus Mid Scala Model/Catalog Number: CI-1601-04 Software Version: N/A Product Description: The HiResolution Bionic Ear System is a cochlear implant designed to provide useful hearing to individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss. It consists of internal and external components. The internal components include the HiRes" Ultra 3D receiver and either the HiFocus" SlimJ electrode or the HiFocus" Mid-Scala (MS) electrode array that are implanted surgically under the skin behind the ear. The external components include a sound processor (body-worn or ear-level), a headpiece, and a cable. The system converts sound into electrical energy that activates the auditory nerve. The auditory nerve then sends information to the brain, where it is interpreted as sound. Component: N/A
