Wireless Charging
RONDO 2’s innovative wireless charging makes it easy to power up your processor overnight—just like your phone. But unlike your phone there are no cables: simply place RONDO 2 on the charging pad and it will charge automatically. You’ll never have to change a battery ever again.
Go All Day
Providing up to 24 hours of battery life, RONDO 2 gives you all-day hearing. And it charges fully in just 5 hours, perfect for overnight. With no batteries to change and uninterrupted hearing from morning till night, you can forget about your cochlear implant and get on with your day.
Keep it Discreet
RONDO 2 is a small, compact device that sits on the head, just back from your ear. The discreet audio processor has a streamlined design and can be easily hidden under hair. For those who regularly wear glasses, RONDO 2 is a comfortable hearing solution. With nothing directly on the ear, you can wear your glasses as normal and experience optimal hearing at the same time.
The Natural Look
Make your audio processor invisible. In addition to the five neutral colours, there are also hair-patterned Design Covers available, to help RONDO 2 blend in with any hairstyle.
The easy-to-use covers match a variety of hair tones, from straw blonde to jet black, and have a subtle gradient for a more natural look.

Be Bold
If you’d rather make a statement with your RONDO 2, there are plenty of colourful Design Covers which really show off your audio processor.
From elegant art-inspired designs, to classic patterns and wild animal prints, you can simply snap your favourite cover onto RONDO 2 and change your look in an instant.
Stay Connected
Sometimes it can be hard to hear your best. Noisy public places can be difficult, as can talking on the phone or hearing the TV clearly.
RONDO 2 connects seamlessly with Bluetooth® neckloops and hearing induction loops to bring the sound straight to your ears, even across a busy room. This gives you optimal hearing wherever you are, so you’ll never miss out on those important moments.

On the Phone
Take that call anywhere. Connect your phone to your RONDO 2 for clear audio with no background noise, or go hands free with a Bluetooth neckloop.
Listening to Music
Get the most out of your music. For the best quality, connect your RONDO 2 to your music player via a direct audio input cable, or stream wirelessly with a Bluetooth neckloop.
Watching TV
Hear your favourite TV shows more clearly. From TVs to tablets, there are plenty of options for connecting to what you want to watch.
Public Venues
Hear your best, wherever you are. You can easily connect your RONDO 2 to assistive listening devices at cinemas, theatres, places of worship, and many other public venues.
At Work or School
Be part of the conversation. With a wireless receiver and microphone, such as the RogerTM Pen from Phonak, you can hear a speaker clearly, even in noisy settings like busy meetings or classrooms.
Effortless Listening
You shouldn’t have to spend all day changing your audio processor’s settings. RONDO 2 automatically adapts to help you hear soft sounds clearly and loud sounds comfortably everywhere you go—without the need to use switches or press buttons.
This makes hearing effortless and gives you a much more natural listening experience.
Make a Splash
Whether diving into the ocean or simply relaxing by the pool, keep your RONDO 2 safe and dry with WaterWear. These reusable waterproof covers are easy to attach and can be used in any type of water, including salty seawater and chlorinated swimming pools. WaterWear gives you the freedom to do the water activities you love.
And of course, RONDO 2’s water-resistant design means it is protected from everyday splashes and moisture. So if you get caught unexpectedly in the rain, you can rest assured that RONDO 2 will continue to give you optimal hearing.
SYNCHRONY 2 Cochlear Implant
Great sound quality is only possible with a great implant. With SYNCHRONY 2 you can benefit from the latest cochlear implant technology and our MRI Guarantee.
But the biggest advantage of SYNCHRONY 2 is that it mimics natural hearing. The result? The closest to natural hearing of any cochlear implant system.
