The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance to Oticon Medical digital and programmable bone anchored power processor - Ponto Pro Power.

The Ponto Pro Power is the latest addition to the company’s expanding portfolio of bone anchored hearing solutions.

Ponto Pro Power will benefit adults and children with severe hearing loss due to malfunctioning of the ear canal or middle ear and single sided deafness who require an increased level of audibility.

Oticon Medical claims the new sound processor, built on advanced RISE sound processing platform, offers enhanced speech intelligibility.

Oticon Medical General Manager Jes Olsen said for the first time, Ponto Pro Power brings the advanced innovative features that have revolutionized the field of air conduction hearing devices to people with severe hearing loss who cannot benefit from traditional hearing solutions.
