Cochlear Nucleus 7: This tech helped him HEAR AGAIN

More info here: http://bit.ly/2WzUAPk According to the World Health Organization, hearing loss affects 50 million Americans and 466 million people worldwide. What some people with hearing loss may not realize is that there is incredible technology that can help them get back the sound they’ve been missing. Skyler is your everyday guy -- a friendly, wonderfully positive, lovely person -- that has gone beyond the everyday tech to regain his lost hearing, thanks to the cochlear implant technology and the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor. This bionic man shared his story and his perspectives with me, and his tale is definitely one to be heard. The Nucleus 7 Sound Processor by Cochlear is the first to be fully connected to one's smartphone -- whether it is iOS or Android -- to provide media playback and customization of the overall hearing experience. This new direct streaming technology from compatible* iOS and Android devices allows people to use their hearing devices like a headset to enjoy music, take calls and much more. For adults with severe to profound hearing loss in both ears, the cochlear implant and tech have given people like Skyler back their sense of hearing -- and in some ways, their lives -- back. Please seek advice from your health professional about treatments for hearing loss. Outcomes may vary, and your health professional will advise you about the factors which could affect your outcome. Always read the instructions for use. Not all products are available in all countries. Please contact your local Cochlear representative for product information.
