Advanced Bionics provides a comprehensive range of products designed to meet your needs and your lifestyle. Our cochlear implant system (CI) offers more ways to hear than any other CI. And every aspect of our CI has been optimized for clarity, comfort, ease of use, and reliability—allowing you to hear your best.
Advanced Bionics is a leader and pioneer in the field of hearing and cochlear implant technology, holding over 400 patents.
The implant is made up of several components: The electrode array; the electronics package; the receiver coil; and the magnet.
Designed to be inserted into the cochlea1, the electrodes deliver 120 spectral bands of sound to help you understand speech and enjoy music.2
Provides a reliable connection to the external headpiece. The HiRes Ultra 3D implant provides a hassle free MRI experience, even at powerful 3T scans.
Sophisticated yet incredibly strong, the award-winning HiRes™ Ultra 3D cochlear implant delivers the proven benefits of clearer speech3 and a broader range of sound4. It is designed to exceed industry standards for impact resistance5, allowing you to enjoy life’s adventures without hesitation.
During cochlear implant surgery, our unique AIM™ system* can use the HiRes Ultra 3D to monitor the function of your cochlea and provide the surgeon with invaluable insights.

MRI scans are becoming increasingly commonplace as a diagnostic tool for a wide variety of medical conditions. For CI wearers, this has been a source of hassles and pain, as the magnetic field from MRI machines exerts force on the CI magnet inside the head, causing physical pain for the patient. Therefore, it was common practice to remove the internal magnet prior to high resolution MRI examinations, requiring surgery and interrupting the patient’s hearing during the process.
That’s why we invented the new magnet design in the HiRes Ultra 3D CI system.
HASSLE-FREE: Our HiRes Ultra 3D cochlear implant does not require removal during an MRI, so you can treat it like any other standard medical examination.
PAIN-FREE: Our innovative multi-magnet assembly allows the magnets to spin in place so there’s no movement within the components of the implant—ensuring no pain or discomfort during an MRI.
UNINTERRUPTED HEARING: The only thing that you have to do to get an MRI is to take off the sound processor and put it back on after the MRI examination.
The HiRes Ultra 3D has been awarded Medtech’s Breakthrough Award 2019 for Best Overall Medical Device Solution.
