SONNET

Effortless Listening

Life can be a handful sometimes. That's why SONNET is designed for hands-free control wherever you go.

Automatic Sound Management 2.0 (ASM 2.0) actively adapts to changing listening environments, so you don't have to worry about adjusting settings or changing programs. Focus on what you're listening to, not on which program you'll need to hear it.

Microphone Directionality, focuses your hearing by using two microphones to sharpen the sounds in front of you for better listening, especially in noisy settings.

Wind Noise Reduction, minimises continuous wind noise, making it easier to hear in outdoor settings. The levels of wind noise reduction can be adjusted for your specific needs.

Automatic Volume Control continuously monitors your environment and seamlessly adjusts volume levels to ensure every sound is heard clearly and comfortably.

Water Resistant

Make a Splash

Relax by the pool, run through the sprinklers, or jump in the puddles. With the water-resistant SONNET, you don't have to worry about an unexpected splash keeping you from the activities you love. And with the fully waterproof WaterWear accessory, you're ready to go anywhere with your SONNET.

 

Never Miss a Moment

SONNET delivers up to 60-hour battery life without a trade-off in performance. Weighing less than 11 grams, the lightweight SONNET uses two disposable 675 zinc-air batteries. The locking battery case of the SONNET is tamper-proof, making it the ideal option for young children.

60-Hour Battery Life

Performance Without Compromise

Sync With All Your Devices

With flexible connectivity options, both SONNET and RONDO can connect to nearly any external audio source or Assistive Listening Device (ALD), including neckloops and hearing induction loops. With the RogerTM 21 from Phonak*, SONNET can connect to a range of Roger wireless microphones.

Powered by Triformance

Experience the fullest, richest range of sounds, perceive speech and music more naturally, and protect your hearing—all with Triformance.

To give you the most natural hearing possible, MED-EL cochlear implants are powered by Triformance, the combination of three key technologies: Complete Cochlear Coverage, FineHearing, and Structure Preservation.

FineHearing™

Can you hear the bass? Only our unique FineHearing sound coding technology gives you a richer perception of sound by including deep bass tones. With our FineHearing technology, SONNET provides a fuller, more natural perception of speech and music, especially with low-pitched bass sounds.

Structure Preservation

Our incredibly soft, flexible electrodes are designed to protect the delicate nerve cells of your inner ear. Structure Preservation provides a solid foundation for a more clear and accurate perception of sound. Protecting your cochlea enables your implant to deliver the best benefit, both now and in the future.

Complete Cochlear Coverage

To hear the most natural range of sounds, you'll need an implant electrode that's long enough to cover the whole cochlea. We offer the longest, most flexible electrodes available, making our electrodes the only choice for Complete Cochlear Coverage.

20 Years of Implant Compatibility

Fully compatible with all MED-EL cochlear implants from the previous 20 years, SONNET enables all of our current recipients to benefit from the latest in MED-EL technology.

FineTuner Remote Control

SONNET features Automatic Sound Management 2.0 to minimise the need to adjust settings in most environments. For additional control, SONNET features the convenient FineTuner remote.

The FineTuner Remote Control allows you to easily adjust settings and select programs with the press of a button. The compact FineTuner fits easily into your pocket and the large buttons make it easy to use. A single FineTuner can be used to control both processors for bilateral recipients, making it especially convenient.
