ANNUAL REPORT 2017 About the front cover Bone anchored hearing systems (BAHS) like Ponto are designed to use your body’s natural ability to transfer sound through bone conduction. The implanted part is discreetly placed through the skin on the scull bone and lets you snap on the sound processor. The powerful sound processor is worn behind the ear and converts sound into vibrations, which are then sent through the skull bone directly to your inner ear. Since its launch, many users and professionals have experienced the difference of Ponto 3 SuperPower, recognising that this product is a game changer. All users of bone anchored hearing systems benefit from a sound processor with the highest pos- sible maximum output. As the most powerful abutment-level sound processor in the market, Ponto 3 SuperPower provides premium sound quality and a unique option for the majority of users of bone anchored hearing systems. “The Ponto has increased my capabilities, my gifts and passions” Camilla Gilbert was born with a hearing loss.
