Cochlear Americas Nucleus Freedom Sound Processor Compatibile for All
Nucleus Implants
February 28, 2008
Cochlear Americas, a leader in cochlear implant technology, has announced
the flagship Nucleus Freedom sound processor is now compatible with all
previous Nucleus generation implants. This means that recipients implanted
with earlier technology like Nucleus 22, Nucleus 24 ABI and Nucleus 24
Double Array implants can benefit from the latest hearing technology.
“This new compatibility demonstrates Cochlear’s lifetime commitment to all
of our Nucleus implant recipients,” says Chris Smith, president, Cochlear
Americas. “Recipients implanted over 20 years ago can now enjoy many of the
same benefits of future implant recipients. These innovations provide users
with the freedom to enjoy music and handle even the most challenging
situations such as conversations in a noisy restaurant as well as sports and
activities around water.”
The Nucleus Freedom sound processor is the fifth upgrade for Nucleus 22
recipients and is designed to provide water and sweat resistance; superior
hearing performance in a variety of environments with Cochlear's SmartSound
2 innovation technology; rechargeable and/or disposable battery options;
digital technology to provide clear sound; an array of wearing options and
colors.
