Americas announces the upcoming launch of the ESPrit[TM] 3G Behind-the-Ear speech processor for the Cochlear Nucleus cochlear nucleus n. Any of the nuclei that are located on the dorsal and lateral surface of the inferior cerebellar peduncle in the floor of the lateral recess of the rhomboid fossa, receive the incoming fibers of the cochlear part of the [R] 22 implant and the development of a new implant, the Cochlear Nucleus[R] 24 Contour[TM] Advance.

The Cochlear Nucleus 24 Contour Advance features an enhanced Contour Electrode electrode, terminal through which electric current passes between metallic and nonmetallic parts of an electric circuit. In most familiar circuits current is carried by metallic conductors, but in some circuits the current passes for some distance through a engineered to help preserve and protect the delicate structures of the cochlea cochlea (kŏk`lēə): see ear. during surgery and in the years following surgery.
