Why It’s the Best Time to Upgrade from Kanso

When Cochlear introduced the Kanso in 2016, it was a breakthrough — the first off-the-ear (OTE) processor that combined sleek design with robust performance. It quickly became a favorite for its discreet look and reliability. But technology has advanced significantly since then, and Cochlear has raised the bar with Kanso 2 and Kanso 3.

As much as we admire the original Kanso, it’s time to embrace the future. With service support for Kanso ending on 31st December 2028, upgrading ensures continued access to innovation, convenience, and better hearing outcomes.

Why Upgrade Now?

• Better Connectivity Direct smartphone streaming and app integration make life easier for both kids and parents.

• Superior Hearing Performance Advanced sound processing helps children hear more clearly in noisy environments.

• Rechargeable Convenience Built-in rechargeable batteries eliminate the hassle of frequent replacements.

• Smarter Features Automatic sound scene analysis, wireless charging, and AI-driven enhancements make everyday listening effortless.

• Future-Proofing With support for Kanso ending in 2028, upgrading ensures uninterrupted service and access to the latest technology.

Investment in Your Child’s Future

While Kanso 2 is priced at ₹6 lakhs and Kanso 3 at ₹7.70 lakhs, these costs are small compared to the life-changing benefits they provide for children. Better hearing means better learning, communication, and confidence — an investment that pays lifelong dividends.

To make the transition easier, Cochlear offers exciting buy-back programs to support families in upgrading.
