Neptune is a waterproof cochlear implant sound processor that is designed to help cochlear implant recipients hear both in and out of the water. The sound processor is developed for all weather, terrain, ages and lifestyles.
Incorporating first freestyle design, the Neptune processor allows recipients to hear the world of sound with the comfort and beauty of nothing on the ear and gives recipients the ability to choose their wearing style.
According to Advanced Bionics, with the variety of convenient accessories, recipients can wear the Neptune processor anywhere and any way they choose, such as in the hair, on an arm, under a collar, in a pocket.
Parents will appreciate the many features included to ensure that Neptune is the perfect choice for small children, including removable controls that make it tamper-proof so that children can always hear their best, according to the company.
Advanced Bionics Asia-Pacific vice president Robert Gulock said that Neptune is the world’s first fully submergible sound processor.
"Along with the AquaMic headpiece, the only waterproof microphone in the world for cochlear implants, it will be especially appreciated by recipients who would like to enjoy hearing while they bathe, swim or take part in any water-based activity," Gulock added.
Advanced Bionics claims that Neptune is fully compatible with the most advanced hearing technology only available with the company, including ClearVoice, AutoSound, and HiRes Fidelity 120 designed to allow recipients to hear 120 channels for improved music and tonal language perception.
