Cochlear Launches Industry First 'True Wireless' Experience
MUMBAI, February 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

sound without the need for bulky neck-worn components required by other systems.

The range of accessories includes a Mini Microphone, Phone Clip and TV Streamer,
giving Cochlear(TM) Nucleus(R) 6 sound processor users an instant improvement in their
ability to hear in challenging situations, so they can focus on what's important.
The accessories use the same 2.4 GHz technology platform as Bluetooth(R) and Wi-Fi
devices. This gives a clear and secure connection without the interference and signal
drops associated with traditional wireless systems.
"We're proud to be offering our recipients leading technology that will bring enormous
benefits," said Vandana Pisharody, Regional Director, Cochlear South Asia. "True wireless
freedom not only means a significantly easier and more enjoyable hearing experience, it
also helps recipients use modern technology like anyone else, so they don't have to miss
out on what most of us take for granted."
Mini Microphone
Hearing in noisy situations or over a distance such as class rooms, lecture halls,
offices or busy restaurants can be challenging for many people. The Mini Microphone gives
recipients the advantage of having the speech they want to hear transmitted directly to
their sound processor by simply clipping it onto a companion or a teacher's collar.
The Mini Microphone can also be plugged into other devices such as MP3 players and
computers so recipients can enjoy the sound with the freedom to move around.
Phone Clip
The Bluetooth-enabled wireless capability of the Phone Clip gives recipients the
convenience of a hands-free connection to friends and family, and a clarity of sound that
gives them more confidence in using the phone. They can make calls, have conversations and
even listen to music without having to take the phone out of their pocket. Small and
lightweight, the device is ideal for the car, for work and when on the go.
TV Streamer
The TV Streamer delivers crisp, clear stereo sound directly from a recipient's TV to
their sound processor, while still letting them hear the conversation around them. This
means they can have their own personal volume without making TV too loud for others, and
can enjoy their favourite shows and discuss them with friends and family at the same time.
This innovation is a result of a technology partnership between Cochlear and GN
ReSound, another leader in hearing technology solutions. The range of true wireless
accessories is currently available with the Cochlear Baha(R) 4 Sound Processor and with
the Cochlear Nucleus 6 Sound Processor.
The wireless accessories for Nucleus 6 and Baha(R) 4 will be available in India from
February 2.
