Extra security when it is needed

We design sound processors to be comfortable and secure no matter what people are doing.

But sometimes, they want reassurance that they won't lose their sound processor, especially during high-energy activities like skiing or playing football. Or maybe they're a parent who wants peace of mind that their child won't lose his or her sound processor.

Cochlear accessories can help keep an individual's sound processor in place.
