MRIMRIWhy Matters
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an important medical technology that lets doctors see detailed images of the inside of your body.

A 3.0 Tesla MRI machine uses magnets up to 600x stronger than a fridge magnet.2
Most of us will probably need at least one MRI
in our lifetime1
THAT’S STRONG ENOUGH
TO LIFT A CAR!
MRI machines use incredibly
powerful magnets.
MAGNETThat's because every cochlear implant has a small magnet inside.
especially for people with a cochlear implant.
With such powerful magnets,
it is important to ensure safety and comfort
Is it safe for me to get an MRI?
Revolutionary MagnetMED-EL’s latest cochlear implant with a

cochlear implantthat lets you safely have
high-resolution 3.0 Tesla MRIs without surgery.3
A magnet that can freely rotate

That means you'll be able to hear right away after an MRI!
