TEAM CLARION ANNOUNCEMENT, March 15, 2001
Introducing the CLARION CII Bionic Ear System:
More Sound. Better Hearing. Imagine the Possibilities.

* FDA APPROVED when operating in software restricted conventional cochlear
implant mode 

* Internal memory banks support powerful BROADBAND
capabilities 

* More than 10 times FASTER than any other conventional
cochlear implant for high resolution signal delivery 

* Up to 31stimulation channels deliver the HIGHEST FIDELITY 
sound signal possible

* Innovative HIGH RESOLUTION software upgrade allows users to take
advantage of future technological developments 

* Smart Control Electronics
provide POWER efficiency for extended operating times with the CII BTE

Advancements in cochlear implant technology over the past twenty years
have demonstrated that the ability to provide more sound information to
the hearing nerve has resulted in increased patient PERFORMANCE. 
Conventional cochlear implants have been limited in their ability to
deliver a full or complete sound signal.  The newly FDA APPROVED CLARION
CII Bionic Ear is a new generation cochlear implant with vastly
increased performance capability never before seen in the industry.  The
CII Bionic Ear is designed to increase patient performance through both
powerful and INNOVATIVE technology.  "The CII Bionic Ear is clearly a
major leap forward in implant technology.  The CII provides a host of
new research options for the scientific community, which will foster the
development of next-generation speech processors to improve speech
understanding and sound quality for implant users." (Dr.  Robert
Shannon, Ph.D., Director of Auditory Implant Research at the House Ear
Institute in Los Angeles and one of the worldms leading authorities in
the field of Auditory Perceptual Research.) "The electronic platform of
the CLARION CII Bionic Ear provides the versatility required to
implement many exciting advances from research on cochlear implants. 
Its extraordinary capability to deliver the fine details of sound in
high resolution will provides the hearing health profession with a
powerful tool to manage children and adults with severe and profound
hearing loss.  This is how deafness will be treated worldwide over the
next decade." (Dr.  Gerald Loeb, M.D., Professor of Biomedical
Engineering at USC, a world renowned scientist who was one of the
original developers of cochlear implants and whose research has been
published in Science, Journal of Neuroscience, Annals of Otology,
Rhinology, and Laryngology, and Scientific American.) To learn more

* CAUTION: High Resolution broadband information sound delivery 
is limited to investigational use only.  **
Approved for use in both adults and children 18 months or older.

Ik vraag mij af hoe anderen dat nu doen als de processor het laat
afweten.  Je bent dan weer helemaal doof.  Ga je "gewoon" naar je werk?
Stel je voor dat vrijdag om 4 uur jouw processor laat afweten, dan is
het mooi als je dinsdag geholpen kunt worden: ga je dan "gewoon" alle
afspraken nakomen en doen alsof er niets aan de hand is, of meld je je
ziek? Laatst vlak voor kerst kreeg ik het Spaans benauwd, omdat de
processor haperde, dan zou ik die feestdagen met al z'n afspraken, en
feestjes, met een doof hoofd rondlopen, en pas na 2 januari geholpen
kunnen worden...  Vraag me niet af hoe dat voelt.
