A hassle-free MRI experience with Ultra 3D Implant

We believe that an MRI procedure should be hassle free for you or your child. That is why our innovative multi-magnet assembly in the HiRes Ultra 3D implant provides alignment to the external MRI magnetic field, allowing you safe high-resolution imaging, such as 3.0 Tesla MRIs, without any preparation, surgery or head bandaging. The alignment provided by the multi-magnet assembly ensures that the powerful forces generated during an MRI don't cause any torque, pressure, tugging or discomfort. This means pain free MRI procedures and uninterrupted hearing every time.

Designed for all your listening needs

The acoustics and sounds in the office differ greatly from a walk in the park or dinner at a restaurant. To get the most out of every setting, you need a hearing solution that is built to deliver clear, rich sound in any listening situation. AutoSense OS 3.0 gives you a powerful hearing experience by providing automatic access to a variety of features which customise sound based on your environment. This means you’re hearing your best every moment, every day, no matter where life takes you.

Two ears are better than one 

Whether it's two CIs or one CI and a hearing aid, AB's partnership with Phonak means you'll hear your best with both ears. 

Dedicated to adults and children with no usable hearing in one ear and some in the other, the combination of a Marvel Cl and a compatible Phonak hearing aid can help you or your child enjoy a more powerful connection to the world. Combining the unique and dynamic duo of Naida CI M and the Phonak Link M maximises the benefit of hearing with both ears compared to any other solution on the market. Hearing with both ears provides a better sense of where sounds are coming from, allows you or your child to hear better in noisy situations, and makes hearing less tiring.^4,5,6

Fully Integrated Wireless Connectivity

Unlike any other cochlear implant platform, Naída CI M and Sky CI M offers the ability to stream calls and audio directly from virtually every smartphone and Bluetooth®-enabled device. 

Marvellous Microphones 

Marvel CI offers unique microphone options to ensure the system continues to provide you with the best sound in every eventuality, even when the processor needs to be worn off the ear.

AB is the only company to offer the patented T-Mic microphone placed at the opening of the ear cancal. Compared to behind-the-ear, this strategic placement utilises the outer ear's natural sound-gathering capabilities, just like typical-hearing ears. The result is better, more effortless hearing for your child or you in noise. ⁷

Delivering the industry’s only headpiece-integrated microphone, AB allows you to wear the processor off the ear in the preferred location for any activity and still have optimal sound quality for outstanding hearing!

AB's AquaMic^TM headpeice is the world's only waterproof sound processor microphone. This let's you enjoy an intense workout or pool party, keeping you a part of the conversation in either setting. 

Ear-to-Ear communication for best sound

Marvel CI  provides exclusive Phonak Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ to help you hear speech better in noise and on the telephone, and take the strain out of conversations.^8,9,10  You also have access to Phonak accessories that allow you to wirelessly stream music, phone calls, TV shows, and endless other media to one or two Naída CI M or Sky CI M processors or a processor and a Phonak Link M hearing aid at the same time, for the best sound.

Best sound in and around water – the waterproof battery

So many of our favourite activities take place in active settings—swimming, gardening, sports, and exercise classes. Our waterproof battery gives you the same great hearing while you enjoy even the most rugged activities, all while providing secure, worry-free wearing. Plus AB's AquaMic™ headpiece is the world's only waterproof sound processor microphone, which lets you enjoy sports and swimming, whilst keeping you or your child a part of the conversation.

At Advanced Bionics it is our mission to enable those with cochlear implants to live a life without limitations. As such, in the UK we have a special kit option to allow children who are implanted bilaterally with Advanced Bionics devices to obtain two of our waterproof batteries so they can enjoy their favourite activities and have a great hearing experience in both ears.
