Advanced Bionics
Contributed by Mandy Mroz, AuD, President, Healthy Hearing  Advanced Bionics is based in Los Angeles, Calif., and their products are distributed worldwide. Advanced Bionics, part of the Sonova Group, is a world leader in developing cochlear implant systems for adults and children. Cochlear implants are an implantable hearing treatment for severe-to-profound hearing loss. Instead of delivering sound through the ear canal like traditional hearing aids, cochlear implants provide a sense of sound by stimulating the auditory nerve directly with an implanted electrode array. The two main components of a cochlear implant, the external sound processor and the implanted electrode array, are connected via a strong magnet. Cochlear implants
cochlear implant. Advanced Bionics currently markets two cochlear implants: the Naida CI Marvel and the Sky CI Marvel. The Sky is the world's first dedicated sound processor for children. The Naida is for adults. The Naida CI Marvel sound processor sits behind the ear. It combines proven cochlear implant technology with machine-learning technology proven to be successful in hearing aids to deliver a quality hearing experience. The Marvel also can connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices to support hands-free calling. It can be used in tandem with the AB Remote App, which allows for discreet control of your device via your phone. The Sky CI Marvel works similarly, but is uniquely designed for a child's typical listening environments. It comes in a variety of colors and with waterproof accessories. Roger technology from Phonak helps kids hear their teachers and other key conversations. Advanced Bionics also makes Sky Link Marvel and Naida Link Marvel, which are super-power hearing aids that work with cochlear implants, for people who wear a CI in one ear, and a hearing aid in the other, known as bimodal hearing. These devices also use Phonak technology. Older products include the Neptune and Chorus processors.

Causes and treatments for temporary hearing loss
A number of conditions can cause temporary hearing loss, and each has its own treatment. In most cases, temporary hearing loss is easily treated and has no lasting effects.
Can exercise cause hearing loss or tinnitus?
Exercise is beneficial to the body and mind, but find out why heavy exertion paired with loud music can lead to hearing loss or tinnitus.
What are hearing aid settings? And how do I customize mine?
Hearing aids come with default settings, but your hearing care provider can also set up custom programs, such as music listening or for driving in a car.
I can hear, just not clearly. Do I have hearing loss?
Do you feel like you can hear but not understand words? This may mean you have high-frequency hearing loss--or even something unrelated, like an auditory processing problem.
Dr. Mandy Mroz earned her doctorate in audiology from the University of Florida. Mandy’s career is guided by her dedication to serving people with hearing loss and her past experience in hearing research, training and management.
