In a world that is always changing, it’s important to feel confident hearing and participating in everyday conversations. Cochlear continually innovates our sound processors to make it easier for adults and children to hear clearly and connect with what matters most, no matter their stage of life.

When an individual upgrades to a next-generation sound processor, they can benefit from advances in hearing technology so they can feel part of the conversation, even in challenging and noisy environments.1-5 Our new sound processors are designed to be smaller, more comfortable and provide improved battery life for a busy day.6-8

The latest features help adults and children better connect with the people and activities they love.*

And it’s all without the need for additional surgery.
