     Original Sound


    In this short sample of music the frequency components are shown to be varying in a lively and smooth manner.
    Conventional Sound Processing

    A fixed electrode array is unable to adequately represent this movement of frequency relative to the place in the cochlea.
    HiRes 120


    With HiRes120 the electrical field is able to move freely or dance between electrodes to better follow the movements in the original signal.

    Hires®120 is the first available sound coding strategy which explicitly steers current to increase the number of stimulation sites, and delivers the corresponding temporal fine structure.
