Beyond Bilateral Beyond Bilateral Beyond Bilateral The Best Technology for Hearing with Two Ears The Next Best Thing toThing to Normal Hearing The Next Best Thing to Normal Hearing The Next Best Normal Hearing Beyond Bilateral Everyone knows that hearing with two ears is better than one. It’s not just common sense, it’s supported by scientific research.1-3 All ages can benefit from listening with two ears. It makes it easier to understand speech in noisy environments and to determine where sounds are coming from. Cochlear implant recipients hear with both ears in two ways — either...

Hearing with Two Ears Working Together Natural Signal Two normal hearing ears working together Phonak Binaural VoiceStream Technology The groundbreaking Phonak Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ in your Naída CI sound processors doesn’t simply process sounds independently, like other systems. It gives your processors the unique ability to Natural Signal Acoustic Signal communicate with each other. Electrical Stimulation Your processors work together, automatically and in real time. They Acoustic Signal Two Phonak hearing aids working together intelligently focus on the sound you want to hear...

StereoZoom Feature This Phonak technology focuses on a speaker in front of you so you can follow a one-on-one conversation more easily in a very noisy situation. When noise levels reach a level that makes understanding one person in a crowd difficult, StereoZoom uses the signals from the front and back microphones on both processors to help you focus on the person you are listening to. Phonak Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ enables StereoZoom to simultaneously stream full audio signals from one processor to the other and vice versa. The signals are analyzed and processed in real time to...

ZoomControl Feature This Phonak technology focuses on a speaker in front of, behind, or beside you, so you can hear and understand better in noisy environments, even if you’re not able to face the person speaking to you. Using Phonak Binaural VoiceStream Technology™, the speaker’s voice is picked up by one processor and wirelessly transmitted to your other processor, so you hear clearly in both ears simultaneously. At the same time, distracting noises around you are reduced, making it even easier to understand. If you are driving a car, you will hear the passenger’s voice instantaneously in...

DuoPhone Feature This Phonak technology streams phone calls in real time to both ears simultaneously. When you hold the phone to one ear, the processor on that ear instantaneously transmits the sound to your other processor. At the same time, distracting noises around you are reduced. Because you hear the caller’s voice in stereo, conversations are much easier to understand, even in noisy surroundings. Research shows that DuoPhone enhances your ability to recognize words in quiet and in noise when the phone signal is streamed wirelessly to both ears compared to hearing the signal in one ear...

QuickSync Feature This synchronization technology provides one-touch control of your processors for convenient and instant adjustments to volume and program settings on both Naída CI sound processors. With other systems, if you want to change a setting, you need to adjust each processor individually, one after the other, or use a remote control. Only AB gives you the unique convenience of one-touch control. Because your processors are able to communicate with each other, any volume or program adjustment you make on one side can be automatically transmitted to the other, so both processors...
