For cochlear implant recipients like Jack and Solidea, who have upgraded their devices several times across their lifetimes, the difference a new sound processor makes can be life changing.

“Every time Cochlear updates a sound processor, the experience is dramatically enhanced,” says Jack. “Each advancement in the technology puts in my hands access to tools or methods by which I can hear more clearly and … without a doubt, my quality of life improves.”

Solidea noticed the difference a new sound processor has made to her hearing: “Immediately I could start hearing differences in sounds – the tiniest little whisper from the air conditioning or talking in conversations in other rooms.”
