About UsAdvanced Bionics is a global leader in developing one of the most advanced cochlear implant systems in the world. Founded in 1993 and partnered with Phonak under the Sonova Group in 2009, AB is the only American company developing cutting-edge cochlear implant technology that restores hearing to the deaf and allows recipients to hear their best. AB has one of the most sophisticated cochlear implant systems on the market, the Harmony™ HiResolution™ Bionic Ear System, with five times more sound resolution than its competitors, designed to allow recipients to go beyond deciphering speech to hearing music. With sales in over 50 countries and a proven track record for developing high-performing, state-of-the-art products, AB’s talented group of technologists and professionals from all over the world are driven to succeed, work with integrity and stay firmly committed to quality. Intrigued by the notion of "helping deaf people hear," Alfred E. Mann founded Advanced Bionics in 1993 and asked Jeff Greiner to lead the fledgling organization of seven engineers and scientists. The seven-person organization they founded has grown to over 600 employees worldwide. In March 1996, the company received approval from the FDA to market the Clarion™ cochlear implant for use in post-lingually deafened adults, and in 1997, received approval to market its cochlear implants for use in children. Today, AB continues to make industry-leading technological advances with the Harmony™ HiResolution™ Bionic Ear System (Harmony™). Introduced in 2006, Harmony is the world’s most sophisticated cochlear implant system, using cutting-edge technology to deliver the best possible hearing experience. The Harmony Advantage, only from AB, lets you hear your best everywhere, every time. Partnered with Phonak under the Sonova Group in 2009, AB remains committed to providing recipients with the most reliable, best performing cochlear implant system in the world. |
