The company offers an equally suitable range of processors that complements their existing products. These alternatives are not merely replacements but also represent advancements in many aspects.
Let's delve deep into the features and advancements of these processors.
Cochlear Nucleus 7 S sound Processor:
Improvements over CP802:
The Nucleus 7 S is 27% lighter than the CP802, which means less strain on the ears and increased comfort for the wearer.
Automatic and Advanced: Cochlear has now incorporated Smart Sound IQ with SCAN into their most basic processor as well. This is significant news because it will enable the processor to optimally utilize its features and technology based on the wearer's surroundings, automatically.
Better battery life: Rechargeable battery of Nucleus N7S processors can last up to 80 hours compared to 60 hours of CP802.
Bimodal and bilateral streaming capabilities are available with all wireless accessories, such as mini-mics, phone clips, or TV units. This functionality was not possible with the CP802 sound processor, which limited the user's ability to utilize any accessories. (bimodal facility is available only with selected model of GN resound Hearing Aids)
Improved telephone usage: The direct streaming capability to the latest Android-based smartphones has made using phones with cochlear implants much more convenient compared to the loop induction technology in CP802 processors. Additionally, the use of a phone clip facilitates the connection of sound processors to phones equipped with Bluetooth but operating on incompatible systems.
The Nucleus N7 offers a wider range of retention options compared to the CP802.
Nucleus Smart App: Nucleus 7S processors are supported by Nucleus Smart App, that helps you to monitor the usage of processor, control the settings of your processor and you can also find your lost processor.
