SONNET 2 Audio Processor
Don’t fit your life around an audio processor—choose a processor that fits your life! Whatever your lifestyle, SONNET 2 is made for you. Wear it the way you want to. Connect it to the phone you already have. And experience great sound quality, whatever you’re doing.
Easy Listening
SONNET 2 is designed to give you your best hearing possible, wherever you are. Whether in a noisy restaurant, at a music concert, or simply taking a walk on a windy day, SONNET 2 lets you hear your best in any environment.
Microphone Directionality focuses your hearing by using two microphones to sharpen the sounds in front of you. This gives you better listening, especially in noisy settings.
Wind Noise Reduction minimizes continuous wind noise, making it easier to hear in outdoor settings. The wind noise reduction can be adjusted for your specific needs.
Automatic Volume Control continuously monitors your environment and seamlessly adjusts volume levels to ensure every sound is heard clearly and comfortably.
Hear the Difference
Any audio processor can give you sound. We want to give you more—that’s why our audio processors are powered by Triformance technology.
With Triformance, you can enjoy richer music and more natural speech. You’re choosing to hear, so why not choose to hear your best?

Tamperproof Design
SONNET 2 is tough enough for even the most curious toddlers. Both the audio processor and the coil are fully lockable, keeping them safely in one piece, and are optimally sized so they can't be swallowed by children.
Audio Processor Check
Check that your child's audio processors are working correctly. The link-check function lets you see at a glance if your child's SONNET 2 is attached to the coil correctly. And you can check if their microphones are working properly using the FineTuner Echo Remote Control.
Wearing Options
SONNET 2’s wearing options make it lighter to wear for little ears. BabyWear and ActiveWear allow you to attach some or all of the audio processor to your child’s clothes, so that they can enjoy comfortable hearing all day long.
Fixation Options
Keeping audio processors on your child can be a challenge! With a wide range of convenient fixation options, your child can wear SONNET 2 all day long.
Compact size
Choose the Micro Rechargeable Battery for your child’s SONNET 2 and give them one of the smallest and lightest audio processors available.
AudioKey 2 App
The AudioKey 2 app contains a special “Guardian Role” feature, so you can control your child’s audio processors from your phone. In addition, you can check their hearing stats and make sure they are getting the most from SONNET 2.
Long-Lasting Power
SONNET 2’s powerful batteries mean you can go for days at a time. Choose regular zinc-air disposable batteries for the longest wearing time. Alternatively, the rechargeable batteries are a convenient way to keep SONNET 2 powered up throughout the day.
