Upgrade to Marvel CI

Upgrading your cochlear implant has never been easier. Take advantage of Marvel CI, AB’s most popular sound processor ever. For adults, upgrading to Naída CI Marvel will give you a better sound experience, allowing you to hear more detail in a variety of listening environments. You'll also enjoy unique features like direct connectivity to all your Bluetooth® devices.

If your child hears with an AB CI, Sky CI Marvel is the first cochlear implant sound processor designed with children’s needs in mind. Whether they’re in preschool or a teen, Sky CI Marvel offers the performance and convenience features that will help them learn and have fun.

Upgrading to the latest technology is the best way to improve your hearing — all you need to do is get started!

Your cochlear implant sound processor upgrade may be covered by your insurance.

Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implant upgrades are often covered by MediCare, MediCaid, and many insurance companies.* Contact your insurance company or AB’s Insurance Reimbursement Services Team at 877.779.0229 or insurance@advancedbionics.com to find out about your specific coverage. The cost of a cochlear implant upgrade will be different based on your personal health plan.

*Cochlear implants are covered for Medicare beneficiaries who meet the CMS criteria for coverage, and coverage for adult Medicaid recipients varies according to state-specific guidelines.  

Marvel CI has brought me a lot of new features.
