Why upgrade to the Cochlear Nucleus 8 Sound Processor

[@phantomphreak]

Hello, I will soon to be a cochlear implant recipient. I did so research online with the various companies that makes cochlear implants and after careful reviewing I decided on the cochlear Nucleus 8. My audiologist and I found it meets all my requirements and needs. I will have an implant on my right ear and a ReSound hearing aid for my left ear. I think I made the right choice with Cochlear Limited. I can wait for my surgery and activation day. Thank you for making very informative videos, I have learned a lot.

You should have shown the Nucleus 8 beside a Nucleus 7 so that people could see the difference in size. Still a good video though.

I am using n8 processor since November 2022 and don’t find any differences in forward focus mode on nucleus smart app . It’s slightly 5% difference and still can hear the noise. I enjoyed the clarity in Kanso 2 processor. After switching to n8 there’s no excitingly differences and improvements or any of new changes for the same which I was expecting on forward focus mode sound in noisy environment. There is the missing of phonetic sounds like emphasising the letter sound starting with s, sh, ch, z, r, l

My Wife will be happy to hear you have made them smaller! I am curious however about the sound quality of the new nucleus 8. Has it changed? As in, can you use nucleus to hear better?

[@CochlearAmericas]

Hello Mahir! Thanks for reaching out to us - the Nucleus 8 Sound Processor boasts the highest sound quality of any of our devices to date. Many recipient's have noted a significant improvement in sound quality.

I'm hearing an annoying harsh tin like sound when I hear voices like the letter S and T with my BAHA 6. I've tried using the equaliser in the BAHA Smart app but I can't find the ideal combination of bass, mid and treble. Treble has an annoying constant sound when I put it half way up. Also, after listening to videos sometimes a whooshing sound will play shortly after in my BAHA 6 when everything is silent. The BAHA 5 was better for me because I didn't hear an annoying sound.

You can go to the audiologist I think to set it to your preferences for you maybe

Why don't you update us on kanso 3? Are you guys working on it? I'm currently using kanso2.

I Love the concept. Just bought a $ 1000. android. Wife would kill buying a iPhone to operate. this hearing device. But she wouldn't have to yell to get my attention.

I for one hope the Bluetooth technology improves

[@shawnawallace]

With all the mobile phones today being waterproof and able to take video underwater, how far away are Cochlear from a waterproof processor without the clunky aqua+

[@CochlearAmericas]

Hello Shawn, great question - Cochlear's Research and Development team are continually working on innovations in sound processor design. While the Nucleus 8 Sound Processor does have an IP68 rating, the timeframe for availability for updates like that depends on research and development timelines, manufacturing processes and regulatory approvals.

On my nucleus 7 the forward focus doesn’t work that great looking out to the 8 I can get in a few yrs
