RONDO, the World’s First CI Single-Unit Processor,
Now CE Mark and FDA Approved

Coil, control unit, and battery pack are combined into a compact, single-unit audio processor design.

The RONDO Audio Processor will be available in 4 colours:
Creme, Anthracite, Ebony and Nordic Grey.

November 8, 2012 – Innsbruck – MED-EL announces the CE Mark and FDA approvals of the RONDO Single-Unit Processor for cochlear implants. This new, compact audio processor design combines the coil, control unit, and battery pack into a single device that is worn off the ear. Full market availability of the RONDO is expected in Spring of 2013. Its single-unit design makes it comfortable, compact and convenient to wear so that users can simply ‘put it on and go.’ For discreet wear, the audio processor disappears easily under the hair. With no ear hook, separate coil or cable, and a fully integrated design, RONDO features fewer parts for enhanced durability. Because the ear is free, RONDO is an ideal audio processor choice for individuals who regularly wear glasses or sunglasses.
RONDO is based on the proven OPUS audio processor platform, and features the same signature technologies, Automatic Sound Management and FineHearing, which provide superior performance. It may be worn by all users of MED-EL cochlear implants and includes the FineTuner remote control unit.
“We are very pleased to welcome the RONDO to our portfolio of implant solutions,” MED-EL CEO, Dr. Ingeborg Hochmair, said. “Users can enjoy the benefits of a fully new audio processor concept as well as the proven hearing performance that they have come to expect from MED-EL.”
