Advanced Bionics in collaboration with Phonak introduced Naída CI, an advanced behind-the-ear sound processor in the world.
Naída CI is fashionable, lightweight and enhances the performance and wireless connectivity.
The sound processor is 40% smaller than the previous behind-the-ear sound processor.
Naída CI uses the most advanced cochlear implant technology along with the state-of-the-art Phonak technology available in hundreds of thousands of hearing instruments.
The Phonak UltraZoom feature in combination with Advanced Bionics’s ClearVoice technology increases the speech recognition in noise by 55%.
Advanced Bionics president Hansjuerg Emch said that with Naída CI, the company has delivered a quantum leap forward in performance and wireless connectivity in a small, attractive package.
"If you use Phonak products and get a cochlear implant from AB, you now have the opportunity to enjoy many of the same Phonak features and accessories," Emch added.
