Jenny Burdge, who lives in Maxim Road in
Winchmore Hill, was born with a hearing loss
and lost all her hearing at the age of 15 and was
one of the first people in the UK to have a
cochlear implant to restore her hearing.
The 57-year-old, who has genetic disorder
Pendred syndrome, was not able to hear her

son and daughter – now aged 24 and 32, utter
their first words.
Mrs Burdge, who was not able to hear using a
hearing aid, is elated that she can now hear her
grandsons four-year-old Harry and Alex aged
ten-months-old grow up.
The grandmother, who is married to husband
Peter, said: “When I had my two children I didn’t
hear them but having the grandchildren has
made me realise how much I missed out on
when my own two children; the words they use,
the stories they come out with.
“With the birth of my grandchildren, I feel that I
am reliving being a mother again and hearing
those beautiful sounds of early childhood that
tell you that your baby is happy, or needs
attention.

“It’s just a wonderful way to celebrate 21 years
of this fantastic technology that has restored
some of my hearing. I am very thankful.”
She said every day is a "new day" and she is
still hearing sounds that she has never heard
before and has increased in confidence now she
can hear.
Mrs Burdge set up support network the Home
Counties Cochlear Implant Group 12 years ago
which allows people to share their experiences
of the implant. They meet in Brigadier Hill in
Enfield monthly.
Cochlear implants, which were first used 30
years ago, are electronic devices for adults and
children who cannot hear through hearing aids.
Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants bypass
damaged hair cells in the inner ear and
stimulate the hearing nerve directly.

WATERPROOF NEPTUNE PROCESSOR
FROM ADVANCED BIONICS WINS
PRESTIGIOUS DESIGN AWARD
in recognition of excellence in product design.
Neptune was also recognised as a Finalist at the
2012 Medical Design Excellence Awards®
competition held in Philadelphia in late May.
“We’re proud to receive awards and accolades
from Red Dot and other esteemed
organisations,” said Dr. Gerhard Roehrlein,
CEO and CTO of Advanced Bionics in the
United States. “We knew we had something
special when we created Neptune, which is the
only swimmable processor on the market that
can be worn for hearing in and under water.
Winning these prestigious awards from
renowned design authorities proves that we
didn’t just create a product that’s extremely
beneficial to recipients, we also created
something aesthetically pleasing that people
want to wear.”
AB’s Neptune, the world’s first and only
swimmable sound processor, wows design
experts at Red Dot’s renowned international
product design competition.
Advanced Bionics is pleased to announce that
Neptune™ the world’s first and only
swimmable sound processor has earned a
prestigious product design award from the
German based Red Dot Institute for Advanced
Design Studies. Neptune, one of 4,515
products submitted by manufacturers from
around the globe for this renowned product
competition, was awarded a coveted “Red Dot
Award: Product Design 2012” at a July gala in
Essen, Germany, after undergoing an
extensive evaluation process from a 30
member jury composed of product design
experts.
“The experts thoroughly examined, tested and
evaluated each individual entry, applying the
highest standards,” said Dr. Peter Zec, initiator
and CEO of the Red Dot Design Award, which
has origins dating back to the 1950s. “With
their performances, the laureates did not only
demonstrate an extraordinary design quality,
but they also showed that design is an integral
part of innovative product solution
This design seal of approval from Red Dot
represents the third award garnered by Neptune
so far this year a considerable achievement
given the waterproof sound processor was
introduced a few short months ago in the first
part of 2012. Earlier this year, the Industrial
Designers Society of America Northwest
honoured Neptune with a Silver Shaggie award
Across the world, recipients do want to hear with
the beautiful Neptune processor, as evidenced
by high demand for the product since its
introduction. The fact that Neptune is the only
sound processor on the market with truly
waterproof technology, allowing recipients to
wear it in the bath, shower, or pool, is an
obvious reason for this high demand. In
addition, Neptune comes fully compatible with
the industry’s most advanced hearing
technology, including ClearVoice™, HiRes
120™, and AutoSound™ for better hearing in
and out of the water.
AB recently debuted the new Build my
Neptune App for iPad® devices in order to
easily create a custom Neptune style to match
any mood or wardrobe. Available as a free
download from the App Store, the interactive
application allows users to build their ideal
Neptune look by selecting from hundreds of
fashion forward colour combinations. Touch
friendly features include the ability to mix and
match colours and cables, rotate Neptune 360
degrees, create a favourite swimming
configuration, share customised Neptune looks
on Facebook and Twitter, and even email
designs to friends and clinicians.

locked.
To unlock the keypad, move the lock/unlock
slider up. All keys function normally when the
keypad is unlocked.
To know more about how to use your Nucleus
Sound Processor, visit the Cochlear website:
http://www.cochlear.com/uk/nucleussupport/user-manuals
Cochlear® Nucleus® phone use – understand
the technologies available and how to best use
them
Using the phone is an important aspect of
everyday life that patients with an implantable
hearing device can learn to enjoy. As it’s such
an important part of leading a normal work and
social life Cochlear® knows that patients have
many questions on phone use.
Locking and Un-Locking your Cochlear®
Nucleus® 5 Sound Processor and Remote
Assistant
Locked out and unable to change the settings
on your Cochlear® Nucleus 5 Sound
Processor?
The main technology available to assist when
using a phone is a Telecoil (t-switch or t-coil)
which picks up explicitly generated magnetic
fields, such as room loops and ear level
induction loops (HATIS).
The buttons on the sound processor can be
locked to prevent changing the settings by
accidentally pressing buttons.
This maybe ideal for children - parents can lock
the sound processor buttons to prevent their
child from tampering the settings. Also, you can
lock and unlock your remote assistant.
To lock and unlock using the sound
processor's buttons:
To lock the buttons on the processor, press both
the upper and lower buttons at the same time.
The LED light will flash green, then orange, and
then return to a slow orange flash. Any button
press when locked will result in a quick orange
flash. When locked, you cannot change the
sound processor settings.
To unlock the processor buttons, press the
upper and lower buttons at the same time. The
LED light will flash orange, then green and then
return to a slow orange flash.
To lock and unlock the remote assistant:
The remote assistant keypad can be locked to
avoid accidental changing of settings. To lock
the keypad, move the lock/unlock slider button
down (located on the right side of the remote
How does a Telecoil work?
The Telecoil works on the principle of
electromagnetic induction through the
production of a voltage across a conductor
moving through a magnetic field – the same
effect used in electric motors, energy
transformers and stereo speaker systems. In the
case of phone use, the phenomena is used
twice. First, in the phone to convert electrical
current to a sound pressure wave – otherwise
known as the speaker or receiver – and second,
by the Telecoil picking up the same magnetic
field used to move the speaker and converting it
back to electrical current which is digitized to
audio for the cochlear implant.
Using the Telecoil
Ensure the phone’s speaker is positioned
around, or as close as possible to, the Telecoil
on the sound processor for best Telecoil pick up.
Recommending phone types
It is important to find a mobile phone model that
works for the individual. Cochlear implant
recipients should visit a retail store or ask a
friend or family member if they can road test
their phone. Different phones have different
quality signals for their Telecoil emissions and
are rated according to how well they are picked
Page 4 of 9
up by hearing device microphones. Cochlear
hasn’t tested individual models itself but
something that patients should look out for when
they purchase a phone are the ‘T’ and ‘M’
ratings. Mobile phones rated M3 or M4 (M
stands for microphone) are likely to generate
less interference for someone with a cochlear
implant. M4 is the better of the two ratings.
Mobile phones rated T3 or T4 (T stands for
Telecoil) are likely to be usable with the Telecoil
in the Cochlear sound processor. T4 is the
better of the two ratings.
Reducing interference
Interference can come from the transmission
signal that sends the call, from the antenna,
battery or screen backlight. Mobile phones that
are not Telecoil compatible will produce
interference when held next to a Telecoil. Mobile
phones that are not Telecoil compatible will
produce interference when held next to a
Telecoil. The interference is not harmful but can
create noise that compromises the quality of a
telephone conversation. Accessories for hands
free use will help to minimise mobile phone
interference by creating distance between the
phone and the sound processor.
Programming for a mobile
It is important for patients to try different ratios to
determine the best mix of sound for them. The
Telecoil in the Nucleus® 5 Sound Processor will
pick up the mobile phone signal automatically
when it is either in auto detect mode or switched
on. However, the mixing level, which sets the
sound through the telephone and the external
microphone, should be manually adjusted to a
level of sound that suits the individual. For
example, if the user prefers to hear their own
voice when speaking, they should select a mix
that allocates 60% of sound via the Telecoil and
40% of sound via the external microphone. A
second program in the sound processor offers a
mixing ratio for very noisy environments that
diverts 75% of sound through the Telecoil
allowing talk on the phone in environments that
are often too noisy for most normally hearing
people.

Dr Lavinia Marin receives the 2012 MED-EL
London Temporal Bone Dissection Course
Fellowship Award
Dr Lavinia Marin, an Otolaryngology Resident
from the Timisoara ENT Clinic in Romania, has
been awarded the 2012 MED-EL London
Temporal Bone Dissection Course Fellowship.
This fellowship is now in its fourth year and is
open to trainee ENT surgeons from countries
with fledgling Cochlear Implant Programmes.
The recipient benefits from the opportunity to learn
from some of the most eminent ENT surgeons in
the UK. Dr Marin attended the course at King’s
College London School of Medicine, followed by
two weeks’ observership at the Auditory Implant
Centre at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation
Trust London.
Dr Marin is keen to extend her knowledge as the
Timisoara ENT clinic is a specialised referral
centre, receiving patients requiring ear surgery
from all over Romania. The clinic is one of the
few to run a Cochlear Implant Programme in a
country where about 70 implants are performed
annually.
During the observership at the Auditory Implant
Centre, Dr Marin attended cochlear and middle
ear implant surgeries as well as taking part in
implant team meetings and paediatric ENT
consultations. She was particularly impressed by
the commitment of the teams to find a good
solution to every patient’s problem, a principle she
is determined to follow in her own clinic.
She also returns to Romania with a much better
knowledge of the anatomy and surgery of the
temporal bone gained from the practical drilling
sessions, discussions and lectures.
Dr Marin is extremely grateful to MED-EL for this
wonderful opportunity and comments: “The course
and observership are extremely useful in the
evolution of a young doctor. I think this will
definitely be the starting point of a change in the
views and medical practice in developing
countries. I would also like to thank Mr O’Connor
for allowing me to be a part of his team for a while
and giving me confidence in my practical skills
during the course.”
Cassandra Brown, MD of MED-EL UK is proud of
the on-going success of this fellowship. “MED-EL
Page 5 of 9
is a worldwide company and as such, we are
proud to support these outstanding candidates in
their determination to improve patient outcomes in
countries where auditory implant programmes are
in their infancy. The London Temporal Bone
Dissection Course provides excellent training to
help these young ENT doctors fulfil their
potential.”

New Addition to the MED-EL FLEX Electrode
Array Portfolio
MED-EL is the leader in providing soft, flexible
electrode arrays which ensure maximum
protection of the delicate structures in the
cochlea. Preserving residual hearing enables
users to benefit from combined electric and
acoustic stimulation, and may help secure the
viability of any future non-CI treatments.
The ultra-flexible, wave-shaped wire designs,
and a lateral wall position, are key to making
MED-EL’s electrode arrays the world’s most
flexible and atraumatic. Minimising trauma
during electrode insertion maximises the benefit
to the patient.
Each electrode array contains the optimal
number of contacts for stimulation of nerve
fibres leading to best performance. Optimal
number and spacing of electrode contacts also
significantly reduces rigidity; allowing for gentle
insertion without damaging the delicate cochlear
structures.
The unique FLEX tip features single electrode
contacts on the apical end to further increase
mechanical flexibility.
The latest addition to the FLEX electrode array
portfolio is the FLEX28. This 28mm electrode
array offers an alternative to the FLEXsoft,
featuring a lower intra-cochlear volume, whilst
maintaining the benefits of complete cochlear
coverage.
Cochleae may differ significantly in size and
shape, as well as in individual cochlear duct
lengths. MED-EL offers the widest portfolio of
electrode arrays. Each implant recipient can be
sure to receive the best possible electrode array
for their unique cochlear anatomy.

Will Wonder is Back!
MED-EL’s comic strip superhero with a cochlear
implant, Will Wonder, is back for his latest
adventure in Will Wonder and The Chain of
Three.
Fans of superheroes and comic strip stories will
love following Will’s continuing adventures in
Temporia as he sets off with his friend Tara in
search of the missing hammer. Can they stop
the impending war between Tonus and
Temporia?
Drawing inspiration from the many young CI
users who are able to attend mainstream
schools with their hearing peers, the character
of Will Wonder has been designed to engage
young adult readers and beyond.
Will was born with a profound hearing loss and
is shaped by his experiences growing up with
his robot ears. He listens to the world in a
different way, his special powers making him
more sensitive to the vibrations radiating from
other people, the earth and the environment.
Teachers can use Will Wonder and his Robot
Ears and the sequel, Will Wonder and The
Chain of Three to introduce the topic of hearing
loss and cochlear implants to their students.
Additional materials are available for download
for educational use.
Will Wonder and The Chain of Three is available
in English, German and Spanish.
To catch up with Will’s latest adventure and for
related educational resources visit
www.medel.com.
Will Wonder and The Chain of Three is one of a
wide range of on-line rehabilitation resources
available on the MED-EL website, many of
which are available in several languages to suit
MED-EL users worldwide.
Today, thousands of people in more than 90
countries enjoy the gift of hearing with the help
of a product from MED-EL, significantly
increasing their quality of life. For more

Dr Ralph Holme, Head of Biomedical Research
for Action on Hearing Loss, said: 'The research
we have funded at the University of Sheffield is
tremendously encouraging and gives us real
hope that it will be possible to fix the actual
cause of some types of hearing loss in the
future. For the millions of people for whom
hearing loss is eroding their quality of life, this
can’t come soon enough.
A cure for deafness is a step closer after
University of Sheffield scientists used human
embryonic stem cells to restore hearing in a
common form of deafness.
'Today's cochlear implants provide a sensation
of hearing, but they need a healthy auditory
nerve to stimulate. By combining these devices
with a therapy that repairs the auditory nerve
many more people might be able to benefit from
cochlear implant technology in the future.'
For information about how Action on Hearing
Loss is funding biomedical research to develop
treatments to improve the everyday lives of
people with hearing loss.
Turning stem cells into ear cells
In research funded by Action on Hearing Loss
and the Medical Research Council, researchers
from the university developed a method to turn
human embryonic stem cells into ear cells
needed for hearing - 'hair cells' that detect
sound and 'auditory neurons' that carry
information about sound from the ear to the
brain. Hearing loss can be caused by damage to
either or both type of cell.
Transplantation of the auditory neurons into deaf
gerbils, improved their hearing by 46% on
average. Improvements were first seen about
four weeks after treatment.
As well as proving that stem cells can be used
to repair damaged hearing, it is hoped the
breakthrough – published in the journal Nature –
will lead to new cell-based therapies in the
future for some forms of deafness.
Action on Hearing Loss
Action on Hearing Loss is the charity working for
a world where hearing loss doesn't limit or label
people, where tinnitus is silenced – and where
people value and look after their hearing.
Our vision is to find a cure for hearing loss and
tinnitus. We fund research discoveries around
the world and break down barriers to translate
these discoveries into viable treatments and
medicines. We are also increasing the number
of researchers in the field through our well
established grant schemes, and providing
important support for companies wanting to
develop medicines and treatments.

The Ear Foundation Curry Night
'Important step forward'
Dr Marcelo Rivolta, who led the project, said:
'We believe this is an important step forward.
We now have a method to produce human
cochlear sensory cells that we could use to
develop new drugs and treatments, and to study
the function of genes. And more importantly, we
have the proof-of-concept that human stem cells
could be used to repair the damaged ear. 'More
research is needed. For instance, we want to
understand the long term implications of this
treatment and its safety.'

London 2012 – My Challenge working as one
of the 70,000 volunteer games makers
I wanted to tell you all about my experiences this
summer working as a volunteer games maker.
This gave me such a great once in a lifetime
opportunity to be part of British history,
something that has given me fond memories
that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Not only
did it give me memories but it also gave me the
opportunities to see some of the games at the
Olympic Parks, which I really enjoyed. During
the summer I kept a brief diary to share with you
all.
Summer 2011
Applied to become a volunteer games maker for
the following year’s games.
Autumn 2011
I was called up for an interview at the Excel
Centre. It was a very formal interview which
lasted under 45 minutes. I answered the various
questions for example, “Why did I want to
volunteer for the games?” to which I replied
along the lines of, “It’s a once in a lifetime
opportunity.” Another question asked was, “how
much did I know about sport and what sports did
I do?” “Not much due to my deafness,” I replied.
So coming out of the interview I felt my chances
of success were small.
December 2012
However finally I heard that it had gone better
than I thought and I had got the chance to be a
volunteer games maker. I would be working in
the Transport Team helping International
Journalists (media) get to the right venues on
time.
February 2012
I arrived at the first training event at Wembley
Arena on a cold wet Saturday morning. I
managed to get a good seat right at the front
near to Lord Coe. Huge screens showed
everything that was going on, what an
experience.
March 2012
The orientation session took place in Hackney.
This is where I found out what I was to do and
what was expected of me. I was given a
portable loop system to use which did help,
however I can also lip read well.
June 2012
I collected my uniform. It really felt like it was
going to happen now!
July 2012
Training day at Bloomsbury was mostly the
same as what had been covered at the initial
training session in Hackney, just reinforcing the
vital points. I also attended a venue in Russell
Square where we were shown the various
locations where we might be during our
allocated shifts.
My shift pattern consisted of starting at 2pm till
10.30pm then my early shift was to start at 6am
till 2pm for a period of 10 days while the Games
were on!
24 July 2012
My first shift was 2pm till 10.30pm, security was
very strict, if you forgot your pass, you were not
allowed in. My first day was at Bloomsbury
Media Hub; I met lots of new people and had
lots of fun. I enjoyed all of the games and most
of all just being involved.
