Advanced Bionics | Neptune Cochlear Implant Processor

People with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss can hear again with a surgically cochlear implant that bypasses damaged parts of the inner ear to directly stimulate the auditory nerve. This implant is powered by a necessary external processor that historically has been bulky, fragile, and uncomfortable to wear in a behind-the-ear configuration.

Designed to be the industry’s first, fully submersible, and waterproof cochlear implant processor, Neptune enables users of all ages to hear clearly even while swimming or bathing. Its innovative miniaturized architecture moves the device off the ear, providing greater comfort and the flexibility to clip it in the hair, on an armband, or tucked discreetly in a pocket. The system is highly configurable with a stackable design that allows for removable controls to prevent tampering by children and adds compatibility with future accessories. With an IP68 rating for extreme durability, it also offers a customizable aesthetic with various fashion-forward color combinations to suit any personal style. Safety features like a child-proof battery door and audible status alarms further ensure peace of mind for parents and educators.
