Cochlear Limited (ASX: COH), the global leader in implantable hearing solutions, announces today it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its newest innovative hearing loss solution, Kanso.
The Kanso Sound Processor provides a distinct new way for cochlear implant users to hear. Unlike most hearing aids and current cochlear implant sound processors that are worn on the ear, Kanso is a small, off-the-ear hearing device that provides a more discreet hearing solution and delivers the same hearing experience as a behind-the-ear sound processor.
The name Kanso is a Japanese word for ‘simplicity,’ and it was selected in recognition of Kanso’s all-in-one design. The Kanso Sound Processor features a single on/off button with no cables so it is easy to use. It is worn on the user’s head with nothing behind the ear, adding greater comfort for those with glasses, and it can be easily hidden under or blended within a user’s hair.

Tinnitus is the perception of sound or ringing in the ears. A common problem, ringing in the ears impacts about 15 to 20 percent of individuals. Ringing in the ears isn't a condition itself-- it's a symptom of a hidden condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury or a circulatory system disorder. Although annoying, tinnitus usually isn't a sign of something serious.

As the name suggests, and audiologist is a health-care professional who concentrates on the medical diagnoses, recognition, tracking and treatment of conditions of the auditory and vestibular parts of the ear. These specialists dispense hearing aids, manage and fix up hearing problems and evaluate candidacy for cochlear implants. An audiologist helps style and carry out individual and industrial hearing safety programs, newborn hearing screening programs, and school hearing screening programs.
Audiologists have training in anatomy and physiology, hearing aids, cochlear implants, electrophysiology, acoustics, psychophysics, neurology, vestibular function and evaluation, balance disorders, therapy and indication language. Unfortunately, hearing loss is prevalent throughout the U.S.
