Learn more about your Cochlear™ Account
Your Cochlear Account is the personal account you use to access Cochlear products and services. It allows you to sign in to Cochlear's online services using an email address and password. You need a Cochlear Account to access Cochlear products and services like our Online Store, Smart Apps and Remote Care services.*
Creating a Cochlear Account also allows Cochlear to provide you with resources, service and support to connect and empower you on your hearing journey. Cochlear will also be able to keep you informed of any updates regarding iOS and the Nucleus Smart App.
If you do not already have a Cochlear Account (i.e. you do not already access other Cochlear online services with an email address and password) you can create one by selecting ‘Create account’ when setting up the Nucleus Smart App.
You will need to:
- Choose whether you are setting up a Cochlear Account for "myself" as the Recipient, or for "Myself and someone I care for" including setting up for both Carer and Recipient.
- Provide your name and an email address, and any optional information.
- After you submit your details you will be sent an email with a link to finalise your Cochlear Account set up. If you do not receive an email, check your Spam or Junk folder.
- At this stage you will be asked for any optional information and to set a password. Create a unique password for your Cochlear Account.
- Once you complete the process, you will be able to login with your email address and password.
- Following first login, if you had set up a Cochlear Account for "myself and someone I care for", you will be asked to Add the Recipient details to finalise the account set-up process. As part of the process you can choose to set up a Cochlear Account for the person you care for.
- If you are a carer for a Recipient who already has a Cochlear Account (previously set-up by another Carer), you can create a Cochlear Account by selecting the option "for myself" and follow the steps to complete account set-up. You will then need to contact Customer Service to be associated with the recipient account.
In most countries, if you are over a specified age you can create your own Cochlear Account. If you are under the specified age, a parent or guardian will need to set up your Cochlear Account and provide consent. The age restriction varies depending on your country of residence.
As part of creating a Cochlear Account as a Carer, you can choose to set up a Cochlear Account for another person. They may be above the specified age threshold.

No, because it provides access to your personal information. Please ensure you keep your login details secure.
If you've purchased a Cochlear product from the online store, or have used a Cochlear online service in the past, you may already have a Cochlear Account. You may be able to use the same email and password to log in to the Nucleus Smart App. If you do not remember your password, you can try the forgot password feature to reset your password. If that email was previously used for a Cochlear Account, instructions will be sent to that email address to change the password. If you do not know if you have a Cochlear Account simply create a new one.
You can request to delete (close) your Cochlear Account from the Settings page in the Nucleus Smart App.
- In the main menu, select Settings.
- Click Delete account.
- Follow the steps provided to request closure of your Cochlear Account.
- It will take up to 10 days for the closure request to be completed.
Note that this will delete your account for all your Cochlear online services.
If you want your child to use the Smart App independently on their own device to control their sound processor, you can create a Cochlear Account for them. When you set up the account you will be providing consent for your child to have full access to all app features. Setting up a Cochlear Account for your child can be done after you set up your own Cochlear Account.
- As a carer, during creation of your Cochlear Account, you will be asked to set up details for your recipient.
- At this time, you can choose to set up a login email for the person you care for.
- You will then provide an email address (which needs to be different to your email address) and provide Parental consent for the patient.
- An email will be sent to the child's email address. To complete the process, click on the link in the email to activate the account, then set a password.
- The Cochlear Account will then be ready to be used by your child to login to Nucleus Smart App.
To set up an account for a child you will need:
- A compatible smartphone* with the Nucleus Smart App installed
- An email address for your child (in addition to your own email address)
- Your own compatible Apple or Android device
- Your own Cochlear Account
* For compatibility information visit www.cochlear.com/compatibility.
It takes around 10 minutes to complete the process to set up a Cochlear Account for yourself (and the person you care for).
