The auxiliary jack
Used for auxiliary microphone and telephone adaptor as well as other external
auditory input systems eg. iPod.
The auxiliary microphone
This can be used instead of the microphone on the headpiece. It can also be
used if testing reveals a possible problem with the headpiece microphone. It is
plugged into the auxiliary jack.
Microphone tester earphones
These are used to test the quality of sound received by the headpiece
microphone. While listening through the tester earphones, the LED display will
not function. It is plugged into the auxiliary jack.
The battery compartment
This slides on and off the bottom of the processor.
Audible alarm
A useful option for young children. When the headpiece falls off, the processor
beeps and the LED flashes red. If the beep continues once the headpiece has
been replaced on the head, this suggests a problem between the processor and
the implant. This might be solved by a new cable or headpiece.
The headpiece and cable
The cable should only be removed from the headpiece if it is being replaced.
The processor should always be switched off before removing the cable from the
headpiece.
The headpiece falling off
• There is a headpiece clip which uses hair to help keep the headpiece in
place. This is not available with the Hi Res 90K implant.
• Double sided wig tape can also be used to keep the headpiece in place.
