Recipients just press a single on/off button, place the Kanso on their head (positioned over the implant) and let Cochlear's innovative technology take over. Our study showed the different microphone locations had little effect on the technology and recipient's experience quality hearing in different listening environments. This involved characterisation of the dual microphones in different locations on the head and ensuring sensitivity levels were balanced whether sound was coming from front, or the back. The directional microphone algorithms were re-optimised to account for all the possible locations of the microphones relative to the ear, the position of the implant after surgery and varying head anatomies. How do you bring the latest technology from the BTE sound processor into a smaller, single unit, without compromising hearing performance?

Kanso can be used with Cochlear™ True Wireless™ devices, such as the Cochlear Wireless Mini Microphone and TV Streamer, enabling recipients to hear better over distance and in noise, and stream conversation, music and sound directly to their sound processor. This powerful combination of technologies delivers significantly better speech recognition in noise compared with competitor devices with a single microphone. Kanso features an automatic scene classifier, SmartSound® iQ with SCAN, and dual microphones, so recipients can experience quality hearing in every listening environment. It can blend in so well that other people may not even notice it. It also comes in eight colours, so patients can personalise their sound processor and choose the shade that best matches their hair or sense of style. Kanso is designed to fit snugly against patients' heads for comfort and security, giving them the confidence to connect to their world. In a clinical trial, 82% of people rated Kanso as more comfortable than their BTE sound processor. They love how it “frees the ear” compared with a BTE sound processor, giving them the confidence to get on with their life. Kanso weighs 13.9 g with a magnet strength of 2 and two zinc air 675 batteries, compared to the major competitor's at 18.5 g.Įxperienced cochlear implant recipients report that Kanso is so comfortable, they forget they are wearing it.
Through the use of specific engineering plastics, Cochlear has combined the traditional coil, cable and behind-the-ear (BTE) sound processor into a single unit, delivering a significant level of comfort and discretion to cochlear implant recipients.
