Upgrading: Now for Nucleus Freedom and Nucleus 24 implant recipients
Launched in late 2009, the revolutionary Nucleus® 5 from Cochlear™ sets new standards in hearing performance. More than 15,000 people around the world have already experienced the ground-breaking innovations Nucleus 5 delivers, and now you can too.
As part of our ongoing commitment to bringing the latest technological advancements to Cochlear recipients, we’re excited to announce the availability of Nucleus 5 to those who have previously received a Nucleus Freedom™ and Nucleus 24 implant recipients.

Smaller.
The Nucleus 5 Sound Processor, is our smallest sound processor. Stylish, slim and sophisticated, the processor is ergonomically designed and offers a compact rechargeable battery option.

Smarter.
Clinical results show the Nucleus 5 Sound Processor offers optimal hearing performance in a range of noisy settings.
- 94% of the study participants achieved a significant improvement using the Nucleus 5 Sound Processor compared to the previous generation sound processor. 1
- On average, the participants achieved over 40% improvement – helping to improve their ability to understand clearly in background noise.1,2
Stronger.
The Nucleus 5 Sound Processor uses state - of the - art robust and durable materials. Extensive reliability testing has been carried out to ensure a highly reliable device.

- Percentage improvement derived from results of Australian participants of clinical evaluation who achieved an average improvement of 4.1dB speech understanding in noise. A 1dB improvement in SNR-50 is equivalent to approximately 11% improvement at fixed SNR testing (Dawson, P., Mauger, S., Hersbach, A., Arora, K. & Heasman, J. 2009.
