SAMBA 2 is the latest audio processor for MED-EL’s BONEBRIDGE bone conduction implant and VIBRANT SOUNDBRIDGE middle ear implant. It is designed to make hearing feel effortless, with very little to adjust.

Smart sound processing

Intelligent Sound Adapter 2.0 recognises the listening situation and adjusts automatically, and it learns from the changes you make. Speech Tracking focuses on whoever is talking, even a passenger beside you in the car, while noise reduction softens traffic, wind and background talk.

Easy to live with

A battery lasts around 8 to 10 days and is changed like a hearing aid battery. The SAMBA 2 Remote app lets you switch between the volume and program settings your audiologist has set, so there is no separate remote to carry. With the optional SAMBA 2 GO you can stream from your phone, TV or tablet and connect to remote microphones and FM systems.

For children too

The SAMBA 2 Kids Set includes design covers, a tamperproof sleeve, WaterWear, clips and a nightstand.
