Question

What are three main components and features about the Ponto 4?

 

    Answer

    1. The Velox S platform and OpenSound Navigator. This is the new fast and powerful chipset which allows us to introduce OpenSound Navigator into the Ponto 4. OpenSound Navigator has unique technology which allows for 360-degree access to sound.
    2. The world's smallest bone anchored sound processor. The Ponto 4 is 27% smaller than the Ponto 3, combining discretion, performance, and reliability.
    3. Truly wireless options, now and in the future. The world's first bone anchored sound processor that can be connected to the Internet. Using the IFTTT network and the Oticon ON App, it can connect and interact with numerous services and devices. As technology improves, Ponto 4 can easily be updated.

    This Ask the Expert is an excerpt from the CE Course, Oticon Medical Introduces Ponto 4 - A Paradigm Shift in Bone Anchored Hearing.
