With Harmony, Sound Quality begins with the microphone, in the right place at the entrance to the ear, and ends with high quality, high resolution delivery to the auditory nerve.

HiRes® Sound has been developed to provide a richer and more acccurate representation of sound than previous implant technology could deliver. HiResolution Sound is intended to make speech easier to understand particularly in difficult environments and music more enjoyable.

The Four Steps of Sound Processing

1. Capturing a Wide Sound Window
2. Composing the full Spectrum of Sound
3. Detailing the Dynamics of Sound
4. Delivering Sound to the Hearing Nerve

As a sound passes through a cochlear implant system the effect of capture, composing, detailing and  delivery are combined: the high quality system producing a far superior result.
