Extra security when needed
We design sound processors to be comfortable and secure no matter what adults and children are doing.
But sometimes, adults and children want reassurance that they won't lose them, especially during high-energy activities like skiing or playing football. Or maybe a parent wants peace of mind that their child won't lose his or her sound processor.
