SONNET 2

Made for Bimodal

Use a hearing aid on one of your ears? No problem! SONNET 2 is compatible with every brand and type of hearing aid because our implant systems mimic natural hearing. And if your hearing aid supports audio streaming, you can even stream sound to both your ears at the same time. All you need is AudioStream and a compatible smartphone*.
