Advanced Bionics

Advanced Bionics (AB) is a global leader in the development of the most advanced cochlear implant systems in the world.

By marrying the surgical precision of an implant with the cutting-edge consumer tech of Phonak, AB provides a hearing experience focused on clarity, power, and universal connectivity.

Ambition for the Best of the Best

Founded in 1993 by billionaire innovator Alfred E. Mann, Advanced Bionics was born from a desire to apply high-tech aerospace and medical engineering to the problem of profound deafness.

Based in Valencia, California, the company has consistently been an "innovation leader," being the first to introduce high-resolution sound processing. Since joining the Sonova Group in 2009, they have become the only manufacturer capable of offering a "linked" two-ear solution where a cochlear implant and a hearing aid work as a single, synchronized system.

Marvel at the Marvel Platform

Advanced Bionics’ technology is built to handle the complexity of modern life, ensuring that noise never stands in the way of connection.

• Universal Bluetooth: The Naída CI Marvel is the only cochlear implant processor that allows for truly hands-free calling and direct streaming from virtually any Bluetooth-enabled device, including Android, iPhone, tablets, and laptops.

• ClearVoice™ Processing: This industry-first technology is designed to separate distracting background noise from the voices you want to hear, making it significantly easier to engage in conversations in challenging environments.

• Phonak Link M: For "bimodal" users (those with a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other), AB offers the only solution where both devices share the same "brain." This allows you to adjust the volume of both ears with one button and ensures that sound is processed with the exact same timing in both ears.
