And now, it’s time to announce the winner! We’re proud to announce the official name of the new monkey mascot….

…drumroll please…

MASSIE!

The name Massie, submitted by Ann P., rolls off the tongue and is short for the word mastoid, the bone in which a Ponto is implanted. We are thrilled to welcome Massie the Monkey into the Oticon Medical family and for Massie to join yours too.

Ann is Winslow’s mom, who last year at the age of seven had his second Ponto implanted for bilateral aid. Thank you Ann for a great name suggestion and congratulations! We hope Winslow finds a trusted sidekick in Massie.

Do you want to make Massie part of your family? To purchase call us at 1-888-277-8014 to place an order: $20 plus shipping & handling.
