What does it look like?
The current model Cochlear Implant is called the Freedom, in November 2010 a newer version called Nucleus 5 is launched. We’ve been advised to wait for the new Nucleus 5 implant.
The Nucleus 5 consists of 3 parts:
- Nucleus CI500 Series cochlear implant (External magnet/transmitter)
- Nucleus CP810 Sound Processor (Microphone & speech processor)
- Nucleus CR110 Remote Assistant

Nucleus CI500 Series cochlear implant
This is the part that is implanted behind the ear.
The Nucleus CI500 Series is the world’s thinnest cochlear implant. At only 3.9mm, its new, sleek design is 40% slimmer than our previous generation cochlear implant. This not only makes it less obtrusive, it also offers more convenience during surgery.

Nucleus CP810 Sound Processor
The Nucleus CP810 Sound Processor is built on a titanium foundation, tested for performance and reliability. It is more water resistant than ever before², allowing users to enjoy good hearing in more situations, indoors and out. Furthermore, two state-of-the art omni-directional microphones capture more detailed sound and provide enhanced directional hearing.

Nucleus CR110 Remote Assistant
More than a remote control, the CR110 Remote Assistant is the only bi-directional remote assistant available that gives complete, wireless control of the CP810 Sound Processor, allowing patients to manage the sound processor functions easily; and for parents, it offers the additional confidence that they can adjust or monitor the processor for their child, without having to interrupt concentration or play.
