VALENCIA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2025 / Advanced Bionics (AB), a global leader in cochlear implant technology, is proud to announce the launch of AB ListenFit*, a new mobile app that provides quick and simple tests to let users track their hearing progress. This new resource adds to the collection of free, smart, digital connections from AB. The Advanced DigiCare portfolio includes apps, online resources, and community portals for cochlear implant (CI) candidates, users, or those with a linked hearing aid.

Take Control of Your Hearing Journey with AB ListenFit

AB ListenFit is designed to give cochlear implant users insights and immediate feedback on their hearing progress by offering self-assessments designed to check the user's ability to hear and understand in everyday situations. The broad range of these assessments include the Phoneme Test and Matrix Sentence Test.**

Self-paced, simple, and engaging, it allows users to track their hearing performance from home or wherever they are and receive instant results. A journal function also allows users to make notes about their, or their loved ones, hearing progress. Tracking goals over time this way is easy, allowing users to stay empowered to take an active role in their overall wellbeing.

Key Features of AB ListenFit Include:

• Checking hearing progress from at home or on-the-go: Users can choose when, where, and which self-assessments to conduct, with personalized insights and immediate feedback.

• Motivation through progress tracking: By tracking hearing progress over time, users remain engaged, confident, and motivated in their hearing journey.

• Easy to Use: The app is free to use, doesn't require a login, and is accessible in numerous languages.

THE AB LISTENFIT APP IS PART OF THE ADVANCED DIGICARE PORTFOLIO

AB has digital tools to help everyone succeed in their hearing journey. Encompassing all of AB's digital solutions, Advanced DigiCare offers apps and online resources for both patients and hearing care professionals. These tools empower people's hearing journeys, enable hearing rehabilitation, and reduce geographical distances between patient care, lowering costs, and eliminating logistical barriers for more control over their hearing progress.

Whether they use the AB Remote Support App to have their device settings adjusted by their audiologist from home, or if they want to do hearing exercises on their tablets, patients can find information and personal support through AB's range of digital tools.

An industry digital solutions leader, AB also offers hearing care professionals tools to support their patients from candidacy, post-implantation, to longer-term care. While patients can log onto the AB Remote Support App, professionals can use Target 1.5, the ProPortal, and various other online hearing training tools to extend their care beyond clinic walls and support the patient's hearing progress safely and securely.

AB's digital tools make it all easy.
