Dear Colleague,

Improved Hearing in Noise with Dual Microphone Zoom Technology¹
Hearing in noise is the most challenging listening situation for any individual. However, most of our interactions take place with noise all around us. The Cochlear™ Nucleus® 5 Sound Processor offers dual microphone zoom technology designed to provide cochlear implant recipients with improved hearing in noise. In a recent study using dual microphone zoom technology average hearing scores improved by 3.5 times over the Nucleus Freedom, the previous industry benchmark^2-5. 100% of patients showed improved hearing in noise with dual microphone zoom technology!

In order to provide easier access to the dual microphone zoom technology, in Cochlear Custom Sound™ Suite 3.1, zoom has been moved to the SmartSound™ Noise program.
