SONNET 3 Supercharged: Smaller size. Added power.

With up to 23 hours of hearing from one charge, the new rechargeable batteries make the SONNET 3 audio processor smaller and more powerful than ever before. We’ve combined direct integrated streaming, superior sound quality, quick program changes, and now the longest-lasting rechargeable battery on the market, to give your patients the hearing they deserve without any compromises.

Here’s what you need to know:

Up to 23 Hours of Power From One Charge

Offering battery power from breakfast to bedtime and beyond, the RCB Standard Pro provides the best rechargeable battery life in the industry. 23 hours of power means your patients can charge it overnight and not worry about their battery running out while they go about their day.

Our Smallest Behind-the-Ear Audio Processor

If your patients prefer a lightweight, discreet option, then we also offer the rechargeable battery Micro Pro. At just 41.6 mm long, it still offers 12 hours of power—ideal for a day at school or in the office.

Super Balance of Size, Power, and Compatibility

RCB Standard Pro and Micro Pro offer the ideal balance of long-lasting battery life with a compact, lightweight design. RCB Pro batteries are also designed for maximum backwards compatibility—SONNET 3 with RCB Pro is compatible with every MED-EL implant model and with multiple generations of SONNET series processors. This means better battery life and better quality of life for even more MED-EL users!

Easy-to-Use

The new rechargeables glide smoothly into their charging unit, with haptic feedback that lets you know they’re in the correct place. They can be charged with or without the processor attached, and there’s a spot to hold the coil in place while they charge. A full charge takes just three hours.

The charging unit has a USB-C port which can be used with any USB-C charging cable. Perfect for traveling or charging on the go!

How to Use the New Rechargeables

Assembling the new batteries is simple and straightforward. There’s no Rechargeable Battery Adapter, so your patients just need to click the batteries into place and then slide the cover on. This hands-on video shows your patients exactly how to assemble and charge the batteries.

All the Power of MED-EL’s Cochlear Implant System

With the new rechargeable batteries, your patients don’t have to compromise. They can enjoy the more natural sound quality from their SYNCHRONY 2 cochlear implant and the convenience of all-day hearing with SONNET 3.
