Ponto 5

Open up your child’s world

When your child has a hearing loss, early access to clear, high-quality sound can give them better conditions to learn and grow – and to engage with life’s great opportunities.

Every new sound is a gift

Children learn and grow by absorbing everyday input from the world around them – including sounds. If your child has conductive hearing loss, a bone conduction solution that provides access to more sounds can help ensure they don't miss out. Find out if Ponto 5 could be the right solution for your child’s hearing loss.

of what children learn comes through incidental learning3 when they absorb sounds and other everyday input from their surroundings.

Language, learning and just being a child

From the playground to the classroom, Ponto 5 gives your child access to breakthrough fuller sound input. So they can focus on more opportunities to play, learn and participate – now and in the future.

Support for learning

Early access to sound is a cornerstone of speech and language learning. With Ponto 5, your child gets access to sounds and speech from all around them – continually analysed and optimally balanced even in noisy situations. Giving them a great foundation for their own language development.

Better speech understanding* 

Your child’s brain is their natural sound filter. It turns sound into meaning and decides which sounds are important. Ponto 5 provides outstanding conditions for your child’s brain to do its job. And the results speak for themselves with significantly improved speech understanding* and reduced listening effort.** 

Fully immersed in premium sound

Traditional hearing technology for children can risk making your child feel cut off from their surroundings – or overwhelmed by noise. Ponto 5 takes a different approach. It continuously adjusts to give your child full access to clear sounds and speech from all around them.

  • Empowerment all around

    Ponto 5 combines pioneering technologies that open up your child’s full 360° soundscape. It reduces disruptive noise extremely fast, even in between words – and has the power to detect speech from noise while preserving relevant environmental sounds. This empowers your child to decide what to focus on.

  • Stable and consistent sound

    When something comes very close to a traditional sound processor, it can cause annoying whistling sounds called feedback. A technological first in Ponto 5 stops audible feedback before it occurs.◇ So your child gets more stable sound4 – and can even give someone a hug without worrying about distortion.
