HEARING IMPLANTS
EAS
Electro-acoustic stimulation (EAS) systems are designed for specific problems hearing high-pitched sounds and understanding speech (although low pitches can still be heard) – problems that characterize high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. EAS stimulates the cochlea for high-pitched sounds and amplifies the low- pitched sounds by using hearing aid technology, thus enabling the user to hear the full range of sounds while preserving the still existing hearing.
