Upgrading your device
Our latest technology can help you hear your personal best.
Cochlear’s hearing solutions, including cochlear implant systems, bone conduction implant systems, and active osseointegrated steady-state implant (OSI) systems, have both internal and external components.
- Internal component: An implant that is surgically placed either under the skin or in the bone.
- External component: A sound processor worn on top of the skin to capture sound and transmit it to the internal implant.
As part of our lifetime commitment to you, Cochlear is constantly innovating our external sound processor technology, which is designed to deliver clearer sound, improved connectivity and new capabilities.
Sound processor upgrades give you access to the benefits of next-generation technology throughout your life. They are intended to work with your existing implant so there is typically no need for additional surgery.* So while your implant remains the same, you have access to new external sound processor technology.
Find out how upgrading to the newest sound processor can help you experience and enjoy life even more.
Please seek advice from your health professional about treatments for hearing loss. Outcomes may vary, and your health professional will advise you about the factors which could affect your outcome. Always read the instructions for use. Not all products are available in all countries. Please contact your local Cochlear representative for product information.
*Updated sound processors are designed to work with your existing implant, therefore surgery to access new technology is typically not required.
