SYNCHRONY Cochlear Implant

When choosing a cochlear implant, you should expect only the best. As the most advanced cochlear implant, SYNCHRONY is designed to give you exceptional hearing for many years to come.

A Decision for a Lifetime

While you’ll see your audio processor everyday, it’s actually the internal implant that is more important. Why? Because it’s the implant that is most responsible for sound quality. With an advanced implant, it’s easier to chat with friends and family, listen to your favorite music, or simply hear the birds singing outside.

And unlike your audio processor, which you can upgrade regularly, your implant will stay with you for many years. Therefore it’s important to choose a cochlear implant that will give you the best hearing both now, and in the future.
