The Real Solution to Hear Your Best... in Noise

Whether you’re at a dinner party, wedding, or networking event, you want to easily participate in the lively discussions that take place—not struggle to keep up with the conversation, so it’s important to choose the cochlear implant system that performs well in these challenging situations. Independent research shows that in noisy settings, AB helps you hear more of your world.

Gifford showed that 11 out of 11 recipients understood more sentences in noise with Harmony’s unique T-Mic^® than with a behind-the-ear (BTE) microphone.⁴

Individual sentence reception thresholds (SRTs) (left) for 11 Harmony recipients using the BTE microphone and the T-Mic only from AB. A smaller SRT is better and means that the listeners can hear the same sentences in more noise. Scores with T-Mic were better for all subjects.
