Hearing your best with an AB cochlear implant and a Phonak hearing aid

The clear choice for hearing with both ears


If you have no usable hearing in one ear and some in the other, consider a bimodal solution.


Most cochlear implant wearers have only one implant despite having hearing loss in both ears. Hearing with both ears provides a better sense of where sounds are coming from, allows people to hear better in noisy situations, and makes hearing less tiring.1,2,3

Although Naída™ Cl M and Sky Cl™ M sound processors can work with any hearing aid, combining it with the Phonak Link M takes your hearing to the next level. This unique and dynamic duo is designed to maximize the benefit of hearing with both ears compared to any other solution on the market. 

Dedicated to adults and children with no usable hearing in one ear and some in the other, the combination of a Marvel Cl and a compatible Phonak hearing aid can help you or your child enjoy a more powerful connection to the world.

THE CLEAR CHOICE FOR CHALLENGING LISTENING SITUATIONS


We know that one of the greatest challenges for individuals with hearing loss is understanding speech in noise. That's why we developed a system that is able to shine in these situations unlike any other solution. 

Marvel Cl and the Phonak Link M hearing aids are uniquely designed to communicate with each other wirelessly. The AutoSense™ OS 3.0 operating system in both devices automatically adapts to different listening environments to help you hear your best. Even in noisy situations, the two devices can work together to focus on the person you are talking to while suppressing the noises coming from behind and beside you. 



THE CLEAR CHOICE FOR GREAT SOUND QUALITY


The way sound is processed by your hearing devices have a big impact on what you hear and how it sounds. The Marvel Cl sound processors and the Phonak Link M hearing aids are uniquely made to process sounds in the same way. This is designed to provide a natural and consistent sound quality from all around you even though you're hearing through two different kinds of technology. 

And when you're streaming phone calls or audio, having a Marvel Cl and Phonak Link M hearing aid means you'll be able to hear it in both ears, and take calls hands-free. 




THE CLEAR CHOICE FOR CONVENIENT CONTROL


Your cochlear implant and hearing aid work for you as a unified system, so you should also be able to control them as a unified system. 

One single control, with the device's multifunction button or via the AB Remote app, can adjust both the Marvel Cl and Phonak Link M hearing aid. So you can focus on what you're hearing, rather than how you're hearing in each ear.
