Wearing your processor
Your processor is designed to fit neatly and comfortably behind your ear.
You can also wear the processing unit behind the ear and attach the
battery module to the body. This provides greater comfort and flexibility
for both adults and children.
You can change the processor coil cable, coil magnet and earhook for
optimal comfort (e.g. if the coil cable length is too short, you can easily
change the cable to a longer one).
This section describes how to wear your processor and wearing options.
Placing your processor on your ear
To be able to hear sound from the processor, it needs to be placed on
the ear.
To place your processor on your ear:
1.
Place the processing unit over your ear while holding the coil in the
other hand.
2.
Place the coil on your head. The coil magnet should hold it in place
over your implant.
You may find it easier to turn on your processor before placing it on
your ear. To turn it on, press and hold the lower button for at least one
second until you see short flashes of green. The number of flashes you
see corresponds to the number of your current program (e.g. if your
current program is program 2, you see two green flashes).
When you turn on your processor before placing it on your ear, you may
see flashes of orange. This indicates that the coil is not placed on your
head. If the flashes do not stop even after placing the coil on your head,
see Understanding indicator lights for more information.
