The Real Solution to Hear Your Best...
and Develop Language Skills

For your child’s language development, the best way to learn how to speak is to hear people speak. That’s why it’s important to choose a cochlear implant system that allows children to hear speech well in real-world environments like classrooms and playgrounds. Independent research proves that children using AB technology make faster progress in language development than children using Cochlear do. With Harmony’s sophisticated technology only from AB, children benefit from learning language right alongside their normal-hearing peers.

“Megan has not only caught up with her peers, but in many areas has surpassed all expectations and is above average in most speech and comprehension categories, which means in just over 1 ½ years, Megan went from a ‘deaf’ child, not hearing or speaking a single word, to a child who speaks better than many of the children of her same age.”

—Edward Knecht, father of Megan Knecht, bilaterally implanted at age 18 months
