Official information

What Audio2Ear does

Audio2Ear provides a wireless route for phone media through MED-EL AudioLink to supported processors. Sign in with a myMED-EL account, pair AudioLink and enable streaming before opening the media app. The reviewed store listing names SONNET and SONNET 2; it does not establish support for every MED-EL processor.

How it compares

  • Media streaming rather than AudioKey’s processor controls

    Audio2Ear sends phone media through MED-EL AudioLink to a supported processor. AudioKey 3 serves a different purpose: adjusting supported MED-EL processor settings and viewing usage information.

  • Implant hardware required, unlike general listening apps

    Audio2Ear requires AudioLink and a myMED-EL account. Unlike general phone-listening tools such as Google Sound Amplifier, this streaming route depends on compatible implant hardware.
