Get the Most Out of SONNET 3 With AudioLink XT and AudioKey 3

Today, there are so many things for us to stay connected to that we don’t want to miss out on. Your cochlear implant connects you to a world of sound, and there are accessories that can help you stay connected even better. Let’s find out more about some handy accessories for your SONNET 3.

AudioLink XT: Your Handy Universal Connectivity Device

SONNET 3 is equipped with built-in direct streaming. That means you can stream audio from your favorite devices to SONNET 3 via a Bluetooth® connection. But what if you want to hear sound directly from an older device without Bluetooth capabilities? That’s where AudioLink XT comes in.

Tuning in to Your Favorite Shows and Movies

AudioLink XT makes watching older TVs—ones that aren’t smart TVs—simple. Just place AudioLink XT in the docking station, hook it up to your TV, and you’re ready to tune in.

A World of Connectivity

But that’s not it! Use AudioLink XT’s built-in telecoil to connect to wireless systems. Connect to FM systems with the FM adapter. Or simply connect your laptop, desktop, etc. via a direct audio input cable to AudioLink XT for a clear, crisp connection.

Remote Microphone for Improved Communication

And you can use AudioLink XT as a remote microphone to hear better in a variety of situations. If you’re at school or attending a lecture, you can ask the teacher or presenter to speak into AudioLink XT so you can hear them better. There is a handy clip option available so they can attach it to their clothing. You can also use AudioLink XT as a remote microphone in busy situations when many people are talking; for example, place AudioLink XT on the dinner table to hear your loved ones better at family gatherings.

AudioKey 3: The App That Puts Hearing at Your Fingertips

We use our smartphones to do so many things that make our lives easier, so why not have an app to make controlling your audio processor simpler? Well, there is one: AudioKey 3. This app is compatible with SONNET 3 in addition to all the audio processors that are compatible with AudioKey 2.

Knowing How You Hear

One great feature included in the AudioKey 3 app are the hearing statistics. Knowing these details about how and when you use your audio processor can help your audiologist optimize your fittings in the future. With hearing statistics, you can find out how much time you spend each day wearing your audio processor, which programs you use most often, the sound environments you spend the most time in, and more.

Easy Adjustments to Control Your Hearing

And AudioKey 3 is like a remote control you always have with you. Adjusting the volume and switching programs is just a tap away with this convenient app. You can also easily customize program names, put listening settings in the order you prefer, and even hide listening settings you don’t use.

Lost Your Processor? No Stress!

In case you lose your audio processor, AudioKey 3’s Find My Processor function makes it easier to locate it again. It shows you where you last used the app so you can more easily retrace your steps.

Helping Others Hear Their Best

If you take care of someone with a cochlear implant, then AudioKey 3 even has a feature for you: Guardian Roles. As a guardian in the app, you can change settings and view the hearing statistics of the person you care for, offering you peace of mind.
