SONNET 2 EAS Audio Processor

Don’t fit your life around an audio processor—choose a processor that fits your life! SONNET 2 EAS is the audio processor made for you. Choose how you’d like it to look. Choose how you’d like to connect to your phone and other devices. And choose to experience your best hearing, wherever you are.

SONNET 2 - Smart Sound Technology


Easy Listening

SONNET 2 EAS is built to give you your best hearing possible. Using a combination of both cochlear implant and hearing aid technology, SONNET 2 EAS provides the full sound spectrum, so you can hear things as they were meant to sound. What’s more, with ASM 2.0 technology and FineHearing sound coding, SONNET 2 EAS makes sure you hear your best wherever you are.

SONNET 2 EAS

 

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.

SONNET 2 and AudioKey

AudioKey 2

Be In Control

Gone are the days of carrying around a remote control. With the new AudioKey 2 app, you can change settings on your SONNET 2 EAS directly from your phone. Volume, mic sensitivity, program selection—all at the press of a button.

What’s more, AudioKey 2 also lets you see your individual hearing stats, such as how long you wear your SONNET 2 EAS each day. And if you unexpectedly lose your processor, the "Find My Processor" function shows where you last used the app with your audio processor, so you can retrace your steps.
