Nucleus Freedom implant
with Contour Advance™ electrode
The perfect “fit”
The Freedom™ implant is designed to “fit” the cochlea in the most natural way possible.
Reliability matters
Nucleus® implants are the most reliable in the world. In fact, they are up to four times more reliable. This technology should last a lifetime, so before choosing an implant, ask every implant manufacturer about their reliability track record — because reliability really does matter.

Built for a lifetime
Nucleus Freedom is built using the toughest materials available including titanium and platinum, and is tested to standards developed by the U.S. military1.
Future-ready electronics
Nucleus Freedom contains the SmartSound™ digital microchip, designed with the ability to handle a broad range of future upgrades and enhancements. As new speech processing technologies emerge, you will be able to take advantage of them without the need for further surgery.

Freedom Implant Features
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) safe
Nucleus Freedom is safe for MRI scans up to 1.5 Tesla with the magnet removed.
Small size
Freedom’s remarkably small size is well-suited for toddlers, children as well as adults, and is designed to enable shorter surgery and faster recovery.
Contour Advance™ electrode
1. Sound clarity through 22 electrodes
Unique 22-channel electrode is designed to deliver a finer representation of sound when stimulating the hearing nerves, which is important for optimizing sound clarity.
2. Softip—to minimize force
The industry’s only Softip electrode is designed to protect the delicate cochlea during surgery.
3. Thin, self-curling array
Designed to place the electrodes close to the hearing nerve, for focused stimulation and increased power efficiency, while applying less pressure to the delicate cochlear structures.
