How Find My Processor and Hearing Tracker may help
We all misplace things or forget where we put them. With the Nucleus® Smart App, you may be able to locate a lost Nucleus® 7 Sound Processor using the GPS functionality that tells you the last location the sound processor had contact with your compatible smartphone.
Another feature on the Nucleus® Smart App is the Hearing Tracker. This feature provides you with direct access to important information such as time when the coil is off and the time in speech. For parents, this helps measure that your loved one is hearing, especially when you are not with them.
The Hearing Tracker information, along with the built-in data logging functionality of the sound processor, helps your audiologist troubleshoot and make adjustments.
