This week Dr. Jack Wazen, neurotology specialist and surgeon, was the first in the southeastern U.S. to implant the latest Cochlear Osia System®. Wazen, partner at Silverstein Institute and Director of Research for Ear Research Foundation shared, “The minimally invasive surgery takes only 30 minutes; and there is no risk of skin inflammation and infection with the new design.” Wazen explained that the device’s digital piezoelectric stimulation, or Piezo Power, “is a high-frequency transducer, making speech significantly clearer.” Pamela Messano, of Cochlear, added, “The thinness makes the Osia® cosmetically appealing; and it is long-lasting.”
