Taking the hard work out of hearing

"The [Nucleus] 6 has given me the greatest thing I’ve ever asked for: just to hear music coming from my daughter."^*1

- Sue, Cochlear™ Nucleus® 6 recipient

Hear better in different environments

In a quiet room or outside on a windy day, your sound processor will automatically adjust using SmartSound iQ with SCAN.⁴

Boost your remaining hearing

The integrated hearing aid functionality allows you to use the hearing you have to better understand speech in noisy listening environments.

Improve your speech understanding

Enhance your hearing with SmartSound iQ with SCAN technology.⁴ It automatically applies its best microphone directionality and settings, to help you understand other peoples' speech.

Filter out background noise

Dual microphones work together to reduce sound from behind and to the sides so that you hear more of the conversation in front of you.

Confidence comes from clarity

"I use the Phone Clip. In a weird way, you don't notice it. It's what it should be."^*1

- Sandy, Cochlear™ Nucleus® 6 Hybrid™ recipient

Focus on the conversation

The Mini Microphone 2+ streams sound directly to your sound processor. Designed to help you hear more clearly in noisy environments⁵ where you'd like to concentrate on the talker, such as a classroom, at work or a busy restaurant.

Watch TV comfortably

Take in your favourite TV show at your own personal volume and maybe now without closed captions using the TV Streamer.

Talk on the phone
