Hear the difference. Feel the difference.
When you were first implanted, your sound processor helped bring sound back to your world – and changed your life.
But what would life be like today if sound was even clearer and hearing became easier? Discover the difference for yourself.
The world is changing at such an amazing rate that if you’ve had your sound processor for over 6 years, you might be relying on dated technology to help you with your hearing.
Make your life easier, automatically
You go through many different situations during a day – from a quiet room to a windy street or busy playground, from a classroom or an office to a noisy restaurant or family dinner. Imagine hearing more clearly in each of those situations and feeling confident enough about your hearing to do the things that matter most to you. With a next-generation sound processor^, you can go from imagining it to experiencing it.
It all starts with a next-generation sound processor^
"I have been a Cochlear implant user for the last 18 years. Over the years I have had multiple upgrades, but with Kanso 2 (Sound Processor), I am able to pick up things I have missed before which has made me more confident [person]."
