SONNET 3 cochlear implant audio processor

Superior hearing performance from MED-EL combined with a new, more ergonomic design—that’s SONNET 3, our latest behind-the-ear audio processor. Take a look at its newest features:

Smaller and Lighter

SONNET 3 is our smallest and lightest SONNET audio processor. It’s much shorter than previous SONNETS, and with less weight on your ear, you may even forget you’re wearing SONNET 3.

Convenient Touch Key

Switch your audio processor into standby mode with ease thanks to SONNET 3’s new easy-to-use touch key. Simply press it, and your SONNET 3 is powered down into standby mode. Or your audiologist can set up the touch key to switch between programs, if you prefer. In case you don’t want to use the touch key, it can simply be deactivated.

Simpler Streaming

Thanks to built-in streaming, you won’t need any additional devices to listen to your favorite songs, talk on the phone, or stream audio from your favorite movies and shows to your audio processor. SONNET 3 makes streaming simple, which means extra freedom and flexibility for you.

Ready for Rain

You can be worry free and ready for adventure thanks to SONNET 3’s waterproof design.* Now you can dance in the rain while streaming your favorite song directly to SONNET 3.

Earhook Options

SONNET 3’s new flexible silicone earhook can provide you with added comfort and security. By bending to fit your ear, it will hold on tight, no matter how active your lifestyle is. Of course, the standard earhook you know and love is also still available.

Closest to Natural Hearing

And of course, SONNET 3 offers closest to natural hearing. Experience superior hearing performance with SONNET 3. Our unique technology ensures you can hear your best in any environment and enjoy listening to life’s beautiful details. If recommended by your clinician, SONNET 3 is also available for EAS—electric acoustic stimulation.

Bimodal: The Best of Both Worlds

If you have a hearing aid in one ear and a MED-EL cochlear implant in the other,  SONNET 3 can be programmed to match, no matter what brand of hearing aid you have.

New and Improved Accessories

  • The new microphone covers for SONNET 3 are super easy to use and have a sleeker design that uses less plastic.
  • The FineTuner Echo looks the same and has the same functions—just be sure you are using the new version with the Bluetooth® Low Energy connection indicated by the symbol on the back and on the display.
  • Have peace of mind while swimming or showering: WaterWear for SONNET 3 provides extra protection and fits SONNET 3’s new, smaller size.
  • SONNET 3 BabyWear is a helpful wearing option for little ears—or anyone who needs an off-the-ear option.

Other Compatible Accessories

If you currently have SONNET 2, you’ll be happy to hear that many of the accessories you already have will work with SONNET 3.

  • ActiveWear can provide you with added security while you enjoy the sports you love.
  • You can continue using the rechargeable batteries you have as well as any disposable zinc-air 675 batteries you still have on hand.
  • And you can still use your favorite coil covers to customize your audio processor.
