A Parent's Perspective on Their Child's Upgrade to Sky CI Marvel
A Powerful Hearing Experience with AutoSense Sky OS™ 3.0 Operating System
AutoSense Sky OS 3.0 is the automatic operating system unique to Phonak and Advanced Bionics, giving your child a powerful hearing experience by providing automatic access to a variety of features that customize sound based on your child's environment. It is the world's first and only dedicated pediatric operating system in the industry and adapts to the listening situations your child will experience daily—differentiating between a noisy classroom and a quiet library.
To get the most out of every situation, AutoSense Sky OS 3.0 uses artificial intelligence (AI) to sense the listening environment your child is in and makes the appropriate adjustments automatically.¹ This is designed for better performance in noise and eliminates the need for manual adjustments, allowing your child to hear well throughout the day without worrying about the implant. This means you can be confident they’re hearing every moment, at every stage of their development.

Active Participation in the Modern Classroom with Built-In RogerDirect™ Technology and Bluetooth Connectivity
For all children, especially those with hearing difficulties, it’s important to hear well at school. Classrooms are a dynamic place for learning and interactions. In order to fully participate, every child needs to hear not only the teacher, but also classmates and multimedia devices within the classroom.
AB's Sky CI M features built-in RogerDirect and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing Phonak Roger accessories to stream directly to your child's sound processor. This enables active participation in the classroom for your child and boosts their hearing performance in challenging listening situations in and out of the classroom, without extra devices attached to the sound processor.¹
ROGER SELECT
A versatile microphone ideal for stationary situations where background noise is present. When placed in the center of a table, it discreetly and automatically focuses on the person who is talking and seamlessly switches from one talker to another.

Linked Two-Ear Solutions for All
Together with Phonak, we’re part of the largest and most innovative hearing company dedicated to delivering solutions for patients with every type and degree of hearing loss.
Whether your child is hearing from both ears, or for the first time, the right solution can be life-changing. Each moment feels more complete with two devices that let them hear from both sides. Marvel offers the industry’s only linked two-ear CI solutions, and the only CI solution with a CROS. These provide richer and clearer sound quality and a more natural 360-degree hearing experience.
MARVEL CI + MARVEL CI
The ultimate stereo solution for those with severe to profound hearing loss in both ears.
MARVEL CI + LINK M HEARING AID
This linked solution may be right for those with some hearing in one ear.
MARVEL CI + CROS
For those who can only use one CI and need more support, this is the newest surround sound solution that seamlessly transfers all sounds to the Marvel CI.

AB Apps
AB REMOTE APP: FOR BETTER CONTROL
As a parent of a young child, you’ll have the ability to help control their CI system to ensure they’re getting the best sound possible. We make this easy for you through our AB Remote app.

AB REMOTE APP: FOR BETTER CONTROL
Teens' lives are busy. With AB’s Remote Support app, they can have follow-up appointments from their smartphones. Now, they don’t have to miss class or activities to have hearing support.

The faster the stimulation rate, the more accurate the timing of sound is for your child.

AB offers five times more sound resolution than any other cochlear implant system – 120 spectral bands – to help your child hear all the colorful details of sound: birds chirping, rain falling, and the various layers of music.
The higher the resolution, the more detailed the sound your child hears.
INPUT DYNAMIC RANGE
AB’s sound processing technology captures and delivers the widest range of sound (up to 80dB) compared to any other cochlear implant system in the industry. With this wide range, your child hears closest to the way normal-hearing people do, from a whisper to a shout.
The wider the range, the more sounds your child hears.
