#Kanso 2 review trial#

I felt like with Kanso I was hearing just as well as with Nucleus 6 and maybe, more importantly, my family couldn’t tell the difference either. I can honestly say I could not tell the difference. I went to the noisy café and the windy beach, I listened to music and watched TV, attended lectures and conferences, and in every situation I switched back and forth between Nucleus 6 and Kanso. Would this new processor allow me to hear as well as with my Nucleus 6 ® Sound Processor? I put it to the test.

So when I was asked to trial Kanso, I must admit, I was a little sceptical. Whether it’s social or at work, I don’t want to miss out on anything. I want to be able to hear my best in every situation. So here’s what I can tell you from my experience about hearing performance with Kanso.Īs a recipient and customer myself, I really focus on hearing performance. Kanso is for people who might be a bit self-conscious about wearing a processor, who want something to ‘set and forget,’ or who just don’t want anything on their ear, all while still receiving great hearing performance.

Kanso has been developed for people who are looking for a sound processor that is discreet, smart and simple. One thing we’ve learned over the years is that everyone is different and what is best for one person might not be best for another. In my role, I had the opportunity to be part of first clinical trial for Kanso, where I tested the device for more than six months in Sydney, Australia. I’m doing this for me, my brother, my son and all of you, and I truly love it. I love my job because I get to work with and learn from our customers and help make sure the new products best meet our customer needs.

Now, I’m in a position to provide some insights into the new Kanso Sound Processor from Cochlear!Ī little bit about myself, I work for Cochlear in Sydney and help develop and market new processors and accessories. Lucky for me, my brother, four years older, has the same history of hearing loss, and I usually had him to rely on for feedback about new technology or functionality. Choosing the right hearing aid and ultimately the right cochlear implant can be a challenge. I was first diagnosed at age five and my hearing declined for the next 20 odd years. Hearing loss is something I’ve dealt with for over 40 years.
