Cochlear Implants
Nucleus Freedom with SmartSound
Iin order for someone with a cochlear implant to experience the best hearing performance, they need a wide variety of customizable options that fit their lifestyle and hearing preferences. At Cochlear we call this your hearing fingerprint. Learn more about our success with Hearing Performance.
SmartSound for better hearing every day
Some implants rely on “automatic gain control” to reduce very loud sounds, but “gain control” does nothing to optimize desired sounds. By utilizing SmartSound™, Nucleus Freedom’s “intelligent” speech processor automatically identifies important sounds, allowing you to focus on the things you want to hear.
SmartSound™ is built on four technological innovations:
SmartSound Beam™: for focused listening
SmartSound ADRO®for dynamic, changing environments
SmartSound Whisper™: for soft and distant sounds
SmartSound Autosensitivity™: for comfort in noise
SmartSound Beam™ for focused listening in crowds
Having a conversation in a crowd can be difficult, because the surrounding noise can be distracting. Beam is designed to soften the distracting sounds, making it easier to focus on the conversation. View a graph that shows improvements with Beam.
SmartSound ADRO® for music and dynamic environments
Many listening situations, such as shopping malls and concerts present a constantly changing combination of loud and soft sounds. ADRO automatically adjusts sound levels to deliver an ideal balance of clarity and comfort.

SmartSound Whisper® for soft and distant sounds
Soft and distant sounds are often difficult to understand with cochlear implants. Whisper boosts softer sounds so you can understand them more clearly.
SmartSound™ Auto-sensitivity™ for ease in noise
Auto-sensitivity is designed for better speech understanding in noisy environments. It dynamically adjusts the level of background to a comfortable one, making it easier to participate in noisy environments.
