1. While electric hearing is critical for speech understanding, people who have enjoyed the benefits of the Nucleus 7 acoustic component have: Residual low-frequency hearing that is better than a severe hearing loss between 125 Hz – 2000 Hz. Residual low-frequency hearing that is better than 30 dB between 250 Hz – 500 Hz Severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss across the frequency range. A hearing aid on one ear and a cochlear implant on the other ear.
