Hybrid Sound Processor - superior sound quality

The Hybrid™ Sound Processor is worn behind the ear similar to a hearing aid. It is designed to be comfortable, and simple to use based on studies involving people just like you.

The Hybrid Sound Processor with SmartSound™ is designed to fit your lifestyle

All-in-one design for simplified use

You do not need two separate devices since the sound processor seamlessly integrates the cochlear implant and hearing aid functions – and you only operate one set of controls.

Advanced technology

The breakthrough all-in-one design, with the world's only fully integrated processing chip ensures synchronised electric and acoustic signals for a seamless hearing experience.

More communication options

An integrated Telecoil makes it simpler to use the telephone. You can also connect with a broad range of accessories such as FM receivers, TVs, music players, and Hi-Fi systems.

Water-resistant

Hybrid is water resistant1 so that you can be confident that your processor can withstand both rain and sweat.

SmartSound technology

The Hybrid sound processor uses SmartSound sound processing technology, which provides control over how sound is processed in different listening environments. Delivered via four powerful mini computers, SmartSound responds to your listening environment to deliver optimal hearing in challenging and noisy situations. This technology gives you four hearing programs to get the most out of life in real world situations - Everyday, Noise, Focus, Music

  1. The Hybrid sound processor is certified to IP44 in accordance with international standard IEC60529.
