Helping you have a better hearing

"As a primary school teacher having better hearing is very important because I need to be able to hear where students' questions are coming from and answer them straight away. The Kanso [Sound Processor] allows me to do that."*¹

- Alison, Cochlear™ Nucleus® Kanso Sound Processor recipient

Filter out background noise

Dual Microphones allow you to hear better in the direction you are facing improving performance in noisy situations when compared to single microphones.¹

Hear your best in different environments

Your device is intended to adjust hearing for a quiet room or outside on a windy day, using SmartSound® iQ with SCAN.

Bring sound closer with wireless technology

Cochlear™ True Wireless™ technology helps free you to focus less on trying to hear and more on hearing better in difficult situations, such as understanding speech over distance and connecting to several types of electronic devices.

Peace of mind

"She can be whatever she wants to be, and find who it is that she going to become. Phoebe does really well at school. She has awesome teachers. She's taken off."*¹

- Cynthia, mother of Phoebe, Cochlear™ Nucleus® System recipient
