Singapore

SINGAPORE, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The
Hearing Solution Group - Southeast Asia's largest Hearing Care
Company - has launched the Neptune(TM) Sound Processor, the world's
first and only waterproof cochlear implant sound processor from
Advanced Bionics (AB), the global leader in cochlear implant
technology.
The launch event was held at the new "The Port of the Lost World"
water park in Sentosa Island, featuring a signature theme of
"Pirate Ship" water play area. Several AB cochlear implant users
participated in the event, using their Neptune Sound Processors in
the pools, showers and foam pools, all while hearing their parents
and peers.
Fully intended for swimming and bathing, Neptune is designed to
help cochlear implant recipients hearing both in and out of the
water. Recipients using other products on the market have to remove
their processor when they swim or bathe, which means they miss out
on important safety instructions and opportunities for language
development because they are not hearing during those times.
Developed for all weather, terrain, ages and lifestyles, Neptune
allows recipients to enjoy an abundance of water and sports
activities to its durable and waterproof design. Parents of
pediatric recipients will appreciate the bonding and learning that
comes with hearing during bath time, as well as the safety of
hearing in the pool.
Cochlear implant users in Singapore were given free trials of the
Neptune Sound Processor to test in the waterpark. For the first
time, these users were able to swim and hear at the same
time.
