Speech processor
Processes sound waves and converts them into a sequence of electrical impulses.
Consists of a stimulator and an electrode array. The stimulator acts on the nerve endings with electrical impulses.

Management
As the cochlear implant user, Ravinsky started the development of the first fully domestic ELVIS C cochlear implant system in Russia at “Sensor-Tech” Lab.
ELVIS C Project Manager
Dmitry Ravinsky
In less than a year of its existence, his team designed all the necessary microelectronics of the implant and gained the support of a number of industry partners and institutes.
He previously studied neurobiology at the University of Munich and worked on a software product at a US startup.
