Hearing Reinvented: Introducing MED-EL TICI UNICO – The World’s First Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant

Imagine hearing the morning rain, waking up to your alarm, swimming without hesitation, or taking a peaceful afternoon nap without needing to attach an external audio processor to your head.

For decades, cochlear implants have transformed lives by restoring access to sound. However, traditional systems have always relied on an external audio processor worn behind or off the ear. MED-EL TICI UNICO changes everything. As the world’s first commercially available Totally Implantable Cochlear Implant (TICI), it houses all system components—including the internal sound processor and microphone—completely under the skin.

What Makes MED-EL TICI UNICO Revolutionary?

The TICI UNICO system represents a major leap in hearing healthcare, delivering natural sound quality without any external gear visible to the world.

1. 24/7 Invisible Hearing Freedom

Because every component is fully implanted beneath the skin, TICI UNICO is completely invisible. Users experience round-the-clock hearing—whether they are showering, sleeping, exercising, or out in heavy rain. There are no external cables, worn units, or disposable batteries to replace.

2. Built-in Microphones with Zero Wind Noise

Traditional external microphones often pick up unwanted wind turbulence during outdoor activity. TICI UNICO uses breakthrough internal microphone technology optimized for transcutaneous (through-the-skin) sound reception, delivering high signal fidelity while naturally shielding against wind interference.

3. Uncompromised Sound Performance & Pitch Matching

TICI UNICO utilizes MED-EL’s core hearing technologies, including FineHearing™ and flexible electrode arrays designed for complete cochlear coverage. Speech perception performance matches classic MED-EL cochlear implant systems, giving recipients a natural listening experience across deep low pitches and fine temporal details.

4. Fast, Effortless Daily Charging

Powering the system is straightforward with the GoPod smart charger:

• ~40 Hours of Use: A single full charge easily lasts well over a day.

• 1-Hour Quick Charge: Simply place the lightweight GoPod over the implant site for about an hour.

• Zero Downtime: Recipients continue to hear normally while the device is charging.
