HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Wanted to add this to @MED-EL Moderatorpost about Sonnet 2 but couldn't.

Percy Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Is that LED’s on the side of the processor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Jewel Sonnet 2 is not yet approved by the FDA in the US but hopefully soon. It is an exciting processor for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Looks nice! It looks like it may be just a bit smaller than Sonnet, do any of you know if that's true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 There are changes for sure between Sonnet 2 and Sonnet 1 but the sizes are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 So no, not at all. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 4, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Thanks @Mary Beth. You're always on the ball. I think they mentioned that disposable batteries will last for 4 days but not sure about rechargeables. Did you read anything about that?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Jewel I read up to 10 hours so sounds the same as standard rechargeable batteries in Sonnet 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 4, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Mary Beth Boo to that! Guess we can't have everything. I wonder whether we will still use Roger products eg. Pen and Select with the Sonnet 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Jewel Yes Sonnet 2 can still use the Roger devices the same way Sonnet 1 uses them. Check out the Med-El International website for lots of info on Sonnet 2. It has cool features. mshaley2 and Jewel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Jewel But since the AudioLink also has a remote mic and BT streaming etc, and it works with Sonnet 1 and Sonnet 2 processors, users may prefer the AudioLink over the Roger tech. Time will tell. Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted July 4, 2019 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Mary Beth Didn't realise Audio Link will work with Sonnet. Maybe I should hold off from buying the Select and get th Audio Link instead once the reviews are in. It's such a hassle having to switch the battery cover to use Roger ALDs.

I'm going to want to see how much the Audio Link costs. Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 4, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 I have been excited about the AudioLink for years. I wish it had a few different features but I’m glad it is coming out. My understanding is if we want to use the AudioKey app with Sonnet 1, it will require the AudioLink. The AudioKey app seems to communicate directly with the Sonnet 2 however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorR Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Very exciting news indeed but I wonder why sonnet 2 needs audiolink to connect if it could be done directly through audiokey app. If I am not mistaking in terms on direct connectivity to Bluetooth devices sonnet and sonnet 2 would work exactly the same, don’t you think? The actual game changer for me is audiokey and ASM3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Jewel, thanks for the question. The dimensions are the same as SONNET. The main improvments with SONNET 2 are internal, for example the new Automatic Sound Management 3.0 with Adaptive Intelligence for more comfortable hearing.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 5, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 @VictorR I wonder about that too. The AudioKey app communicates directly to the Sonnet 2. But Med-El website for Sonnet 2 says connectivity for audio streaming is through the AudioLink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
