Amazon and Cochlear have announced a new partnership to make the process of watching films and TV shows even more accessible for those who have hearing loss. The partnership will see audio streamed directly from an Amazon Fire TV device directly to a Cochlear hearing implant sound processor to deliver a more seamless listening experience. The Cochlear Nucleus 8, Nucleus 7, Nucleus Kansa 2 and the Baha 6 Max sound processors will be compatible as well as the Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series, the Fire TV Cube and the Fire TV 4 Series.
Director of Nucleus Product Management and Marketing at Cochlear Ryan Lopez commented on the Amazon and Cochlear partnership saying, “When we started to work with [Amazon], what really came to light was their dedication to accessibility, effective communication, and collaborating on how we can combine these technologies. At Cochlear, we were really proud to be a part of this.”
