Recipients of the Advanced Bionics Naida CI Q90 sound processor and future recipients will have access to universal connectivity to any cell phone** regardless of the brand or operating system. This direct connectivity solution works with cell phones including Android™, iPhone® and even classic cell phones – with no extra body-worn streaming device required.
With direct connectivity, AB will offer a solution that provides truly hands-free functionality, just like a Bluetooth® wireless headset, using built-in microphones to pick up your own voice for phone calls. A call will be heard ringing directly in the sound processor and with the simple touch of a button, can be answered or rejected. This can be done when at a distance from the phone, even from the other side of the room.
