Peace of mind with the Hearing Tracker and Find My Processor features
We all misplace things or forget where we put them. With the Nucleus Smart App, you can locate a lost Nucleus 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.
Get your hearing checked from the comfort of your home
Cochlear is the only hearing implant company to offer Remote Check.^ This service that can be provided by your audiologist, is accessed through the Nucleus Smart App and allows your audiologist to check the status of your hearing through a series of tests and steps completed through the app. Once you have completed the steps, your results are sent securely to your audiologist who will determine if an in-person appointment is needed. This could save you time and money for travel if an appointment is not mandatory.
