    The Harmony ear level processor combines power with elegance and ease of use. It is designed to improve the quality of everyday listening without the need for constant readjustment of processor controls.

    With the T-mic® microphone, sound quality begins with the microphone in the right place, at the entrance to the ear.

    The large Input Dynamic Range (1) dual action Automatic Gain Control (2) and powerful sound processing improve intelligibility in noise and at varing levels - from a whisper to a shout.

    As with previous Advanced Bionics processors the Harmony is robust, resistant to sweat and moisture and powered by our unique rechargeable PowerCel™ technology.

    The Harmony is a modular system which provides the flexibility needed to adapt to different ages, lifestyles and situations: a processor module, a headpiece with cable, a choice of power sources and a range of quick to connect earhooks for alternative input options. The Harmony is compatible with loop systems and includes diagnostics to reassure parents and carers
