Platinum Series: Discreet off-the-ear option with uncompromised sound quality

Platinum Series Sound Processor
Unsurpassed Sound Quality
Off-the-Ear Wearing Option

The Platinum SeriesTM Sound Processor (PSP) is a discreet body-worn processor with the same processing programs as the ear-level processors, giving you or your child maximized hearing performance without having to wear anything on the ear. Many parents prefer the PSP for children who are too small for an ear-level processor. Some adults prefer the PSP because they enjoy wearing only a headpiece on the head and nothing on the ear. Offering large, tactile controls that are easy to see and feel, the PSP is also a superior choice for those with vision or dexterity challenges.
