Main Sponsor
MED-EL is a family-owned pioneering provider of hearing implant solutions, and the leader in the region. The company was founded by Dr. Ingeborg and Prof. Dr. Erwin Hochmair and is the inventor of the cochlear implant in the form in which it is known today.
MED-EL established its presence in the Middle East and North Africa market in the early 1990s, and continues to build on its unwavering commitment to supporting individuals in overcoming hearing loss as a barrier to communication; through researching, investing in and consequently offering the widest range of solutions to treat various types and degrees of hearing loss.
Most recently, in 2018, MED-EL introduced OTOPLAN, a cutting-edge surgical planning tool that enables otologic surgeons to map their patients’ exact anatomy, before they even make their first incision. Using computerized tomography (CT) scans, the tablet-based tool generates tailored 3D models allowing superior operation planning and precision versus existing technology.
Furthermore, MED-EL welcomed RONDO 2 to its innovative array of hearing solutions. RONDO 2 revolutionized the world of cochlear implants being the world’s first cochlear implant audio processor to feature wireless charging, by this delivering reliable, hassle-free hearing without disposable batteries, connecting cables, or opening the processor.

High-tech with personality
Hearing systems are little miracles. We pack a wealth of technology into the tiniest spaces-complex, state-of-the-art software innovations that are now able to address almost any form of hearing loss.
When Uwe Fischer joined his father’s acoustics company (which at that point sold hearing systems manufactured in the USA) in 1967, he had one primary vision: to support hearing-impaired people and improve their quality of life. He established the company’s in-house Research and Development department, thus laying the groundwork for high-quality HANSATON-made hearing systems.
Again and again, HANSATON products have received accolades for their exceptional design qualities. As simple and inconspicuous as they seem on the outside, they are the product of impressive engineering knowledge, intuition and an exceptional understanding of design.
Creating change and progress is a challenge that the Hanseatic hearing system manufacturers have set as their number-one priority with every one of their developments- combining top product quality, cutting-edge technology and outstanding designs to help optimize your hearing experience.
