How the Cochlear™ Osia® System works
 
2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,500
The Cochlear Osia System is the world’s first
 
3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,400
active osseointegrated steady-state implant (OSI).
 
4
00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:18,000
It is made of two parts,
 
5
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:21,750
the sound processor and the implant.
 
6
00:00:22,750 --> 00:00:26,100
The implant is placed under the skin, behind the ear.
 
7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,380
The sound processor sits just off the ear,
 
8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,800
held in place by a magnetic connection.
 
9
00:00:35,930 --> 00:00:39,300
The dual microphones capture sound,
 
10
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:42,800
and the sound processor converts it to a digital signal.
 
11
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:47,850
The signal is transmitted through the skin via a digital link.
 
12
00:00:48,750 --> 00:00:53,750
It travels down the implant to the Piezo Power™ transducer.
 
13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,300
Inside the transducer, positioned behind the ear,
 
14
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,450
piezoelectric material generates mechanical vibrations.
 
15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,300
The small titanium implant, fused with the bone,
 
16
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:10,620
transmits vibrations through the skull to the inner ear.
 
17
00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:15,050
The inner ear converts the vibrations into electrical impulses.
 
18
00:01:15,610 --> 00:01:23,650
The impulses are sent to the brain to be interpreted as sound.
 
19
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,530
This is how the Cochlear Osia System works in and with your body.
 
20
00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:31,660
It’s a hearing implant reimagined.
