Say hi to Eric! 👋

After serving in the military, Eric developed hearing loss and began wearing Starkey hearing aids at 49. As his hearing declined, he received a MED-EL cochlear implant and is now one of the first to try , the new MED-EL and Starkey bimodal streaming partnership.

He says, “I’ve never been able to stream to both my hearing aid and my MED-EL implant at the same time. Now, with DualSync, I’m not missing out! All the streaming audio on Netflix, Hulu, and even apps like Duolingo is high quality and very clear.”

Hear more about Eric’s hearing journey and his DualSync experience in our latest User Testimonial. 👇

🌟 Meet Meesan! 🌟

Meesan received her first cochlear implant in 2021 and upgraded to SONNET 3 in 2025. Not only is she a MED-EL recipient, but she also shares her journey and daily life on YouTube. Some of her favorite sounds? Music, birds singing, and her brother’s excited voice. 💛

With the help of her MED-EL implant, Meesan says she is hearing things more clearly and she can even control the sound of her environment (just in case things ever get too loud 😉).

Check out her YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/

In just three years, OTOPLAN has surpassed 5,000 downloads and earned the 2024 Hearing Technology Award for Cochlear Implant. 💪 🌟

The software delivers precise 3D visualizations and cochlea measurement data, helping audiologists and surgeons ensure their patients have a perfect fit.

"By tailoring the cochlear implant to each individual's unique anatomy, we’ve seen improvements in both patient satisfaction and hearing outcomes. As the software advances, it’s exciting to envision it becoming the new standard in cochlear implant fitting, offering even greater hope and quality of life for those with profound hearing loss," - Audiologist Mark Moore

Join us in celebrating three years of OTOPLAN! 🥳
