Auria Features
Program Switch
The Auria Processor can store up to three (3) programs (P1, P2, P3). The Program
Switch has three positions to represent each program. P1 is at the bottom, P2 is in
the middle, and P3 is at the top.
P1 P2 P3
Auria Program Switch
Volume Control
Volume Control allows the loudness level to be adjusted. Turning the control in a
clockwise direction increases the loudness; turning the control counterclockwise
decreases the loudness. The volume position is indicated by the white dot on the
dial. The Volume Control is typically set at the 12 o’clock position.
Decrease

Volume
Volume Control
The audiologist has the ability to restrict or limit the Volume Control dial. Although
the dial will continue to work, a restricted range will limit the actual decrease and
increase to sound as the dial is moved. Programming the Volume Control in this
manner prevents accidental changes in loudness (either too soft or too loud), which
could compromise the child’s hearing
Headpiece with Integrated Cable
The Headpiece contains the transmitter for sending sound information to the
implant. There is no Microphone in the Headpiece. The Cable provides a relay for
the transfer of signals between the Headpiece and the Auria Processor. The
Headpiece and Cable are one unit and should not be separated. To connect the
Headpiece to the Auria Processor, simply align the raised area on the end of
the Cable with the groove on the Headpiece Cable connection port located below
the Program Switch on the body of the Processor, then slide in place until secure.
To remove the Headpiece from the Auria Processor, hold the Cable’s connector
and gently pull it away.

Power Options
The PowerCel Battery is used to power the Auria Processor. There are two types of
PowerCel Batteries that can be used with the Auria Sound Processor: the PowerCel™
Slim or PowerCel™ Plus. The PowerCel Plus is larger than the PowerCel Slim and
provides increased operating time before a battery change is needed. PowerCels
can be fully recharged in 4–5 hours and do not need to be fully depleted before
recharging.
PowerCel Slim and PowerCel Plus
The Auria PowerPak can be used instead of a PowerCel. It utilizes one AA battery
(alkaline or rechargeable) and easily screws open or closed to replace the battery.
A latch securely attaches the PowerPak to the Auria Processor, and the PowerPak
can be clipped to clothing or worn in a pocket or pouch. The cable is available in the
following lengths: 11, 22, and 32 inches. The PowerPak provides operating times
averaging 25 hours, with alkaline batteries.
How to Replace the PowerCel or PowerPak
1. Locate the tracks on the underside of the Processor and the top of the
PowerCel/PowerPak.
2.Position the PowerCel/PowerPak so that the contact is toward the back of the
Processor.
3. Guide the PowerCel/PowerPak onto the tracks on the Processor.
4. Slide the PowerCel/PowerPak onto the Processor until it stops and is aligned
with the Processor. Do not force the PowerCel/PowerPak onto the Processor.
Replace the Accent Color Cap, if necessary. Lift the latch to secure the
PowerPak to Auria.

T-Mic® Microphone
The T-Mic Microphone is an integrated Earhook and Microphone combination.
The Microphone is omnidirectional (accesses sound from all directions) and is
designed to fit in the open-bowl portion of the ear, near the entrance to the ear canal.
The T-Mic is appropriate for everyday use and, due to the natural positioning of the
Microphone, may provide improved benefit in difficult listening situations such as
noisy environments or while on the telephone. The T-Mic requires a program setting
with Audio Mixing to work properly. Check with the child’s family or cochlear implant
center for processor settings.
T-Mic Microphone
(Standard and Small)
Note: Avoid bending the T-Mic in sharp angles (90Ω or greater), as this can shorten
the lifespan of the T-Mic.
Direct Connect™ Earhook and Cable
The Direct Connect Earhook allows the user to connect to a variety of batterypowered audio devices—such as an iPod, MP3 player, or CD player—as well as
other assistive-listening devices. To connect, a Direct Connect Cable and an Audio
Interface Cable are required along with the Earhook. The Direct Connect Cable
is available in the following lengths: 11, 24, and 36 inches. To use the Direct
Connect Earhook:
1. Place the Direct Connect Earhook onto the Sound Processor post.

Audio-Mixing
Audio-Mixing refers to the amplification ratio between the Processor Microphone
and an auxiliary input device. Audio-Mixing allows the child’s Processor Microphone
to remain on when connected to an auxiliary input, such as an active T-Coil, FM
System, or iPod, with a Direct Connect Earhook/Cable. This is important because it
enables the child to hear his own voice and sounds around him in addition to the
input from the auxiliary device. The Audio-Mixing is set for each program on the
Sound Processor by the audiologist during programming. The default Audio-Mixing
recommendation is 50/50. For a description of the Audio-Mixing options, refer to
the table below.

External Telecoil
The External Telecoil (T-Coil) connects to the Direct Connect Earhook and provides
a way for wireless communication systems to interface with the Auria Sound
Processor. In order for the T-Coil to be effective, the child must have access to a
looped system or a hearing-aid-compatible telephone, both of which allow the
T-Coil to receive the electromagnetic field generated by these devices. If T-Coil
use is attempted with a non-compatible audio device, there may be a low-level
humming or buzzing noise, or no sound at all.
External T-Coil Positioned on the Direct
Connect and Auria Sound Processor
The External T-Coil rotates for optimal signal reception.
The External T-Coil is also compatible with the Harmony Sound Processor and the
Direct Connect Earhook.

The System Sensor, a handheld device that performs a system functionality test, is
for use with the Auria, Platinum BTE/CII BTE, PSP, and S-Series Sound Processors.
The System Sensor is powered by a lithium battery, which needs to be replaced
approximately every two years.
To Use the System Sensor:
Place the System Sensor over the Headpiece at a distance of approximately one (1) to
two (2) inches, then gently press the button. The System Sensor will display its status.
• Orange light indicates that the System Sensor itself is functioning properly.
• No Orange light indicates that the System Sensor battery is depleted. You will
need to obtain a new System Sensor.
Once you have verified the System Sensor status (orange light), slowly move the
Sensor toward the Headpiece and observe the system-transmitting status as follows:
• Solid green light means that the system is functioning properly.
• Flashing green light means that the Processor is not communicating with the
implant. The Processor battery is charged, but the system is not successfully
transmitting a signal to the Implant. Stop and proceed to Troubleshooting
section of this guide.
• No green light indicates that the Processor battery is discharged and needs to
be changed.

Completing a Microphone Check
To test the internal Microphone of Auria, you will need to use a mini amplified speaker
(available from an electronics store).
You should perform a microphone test when the Processor is new, to establish a baseline from which you can monitor the internal Microphone for any sound-quality issues.
The microphone test only assesses the internal Microphone of the Processor and will
not provide information about the Headpiece Cable or T-Mic.
Procedures
To assess the Microphone, you will need an empty program slot on the Auria Processor.
Speak with your student’s parent or audiologist to determine which program slot is
empty.
1. Remove the Auria Processor from the child. You will not hear any sound from
the speaker and will not be able to monitor the Microphone if the student is
wearing the Processor.
2.Connect the Direct Connect Earhook and Direct Connect Cable to Auria.
3.Connect one end of the Audio Interface Cable to the Direct Connect Cable
and the other end to the port on the mini amplified speaker (top port marked
input) or the appropriate audio input port on your computer. To monitor the
Microphone’s output while wearing headphones, plug headphones into the
headphone port of the speaker or computer.
4.Hold the Processor at an arm’s length away from the speaker to prevent
feedback and distortion. (Figure below.)

5. Turn on the Processor (attach battery) and select the microphone test position
(empty program slot), using the Program Control Selector.
6. Increase the Volume Control on the speaker while speaking normally.
7. Monitor the output from the speaker. Sounds and speech should be clear but
amplified. The quality of the sound will depend upon the quality of speaker you
are using.

Using Personal FM Systems with the
Auria® Sound Processor
What is an FM System?
An FM (Frequency Modulated) system is a wireless communication technology
commonly used in the classroom to overcome the adverse effects of distance and
competing noise.
Connecting the Child’s Auria to an FM System:
1. Ensure that you have obtained the appropriate FM equipment, such as iConnect
Adapter, FM Receiver, FM Transmitter and Batteries (size 10 for the iConnect).
Advanced Bionics can assist you in verifying that you have the necessary
equipment via the Auditory Customer Service line at 877.829.0026 or at www.
BionicEar.com.
2. Ensure that the FM System is functioning appropriately by listening to the FM
System through an amplified speaker or Walkman-style earphones.
3. Keeping the FM System and Sound Processor in the “off” position, connect the
Sound Processor and FM receiver.
4. Program or adjust the settings of the FM receiver per the child’s audiologist
or FM manufacturer’s recommendations prior to connecting the Auria Sound
Processor.

and the Phonak MLxS Receiver
5. Ensure that the volume on the FM receiver and the Volume Wheel on the
Auria Processor are both set to minimum.
6. Turn on the transmitter, receiver, and Sound Processor in that order.
• Note: It is important that you turn on the equipment in the proper order to
prevent the child from hearing any adverse sound percepts.
THE EXCEPTION TO THIS WOULD BE IF USING THE MLxi THE
CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS ARE DIFFERENT. IT IS IMPORTANT
THAT THE Auria AND iConnect ARE ON PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE
MLxi.

7. Gradually increase the volume on the child’s Sound Processor to his/her
everyday settings or as specified by the child’s audiologist.
8. Gradually increase the volume on the FM receiver (if available) to a comfortable
listening level or as specified by child’s audiologist or the FM manufacturer.
9.Complete a functional listening check:
• Administer a listening task that you know the child can perform close to
100%, such as the Ling Six Sound and/or common phrases.
• Perform these listening tasks in an auditory-only condition and in close
proximity to the child. Repeat the task at a distance of several meters,
noting that no changes in performance are observed with the FM System
in quiet.
• The functional listening check can also be repeated in noise to assess the
effects of the cochlear implant + FM.
TOOLS for Schools by Advanced Bionics

AURIA® Sound Processor Product Guide
Tips to Reduce Interference:
1. Ensure that the transmission range is not exceeded. The broadcast range
between FM transmitters and receivers may begin to break up at distances
greater than 40 feet indoors and 120 feet outdoors.
2.Observe areas in the classroom, or other environments, that can cause “dead
spots” in transmission. Complete a listening check with the FM System in the
classroom to listen for any problem areas; avoid seating the child in these
problem areas.
Troubleshooting the FM System and Cochlear Implant
Keep in mind that you are working with two separate systems, an FM System and a
cochlear implant Sound Processor. The best way to complete troubleshooting is to
begin by separating the two systems and troubleshoot them separately.
Troubleshooting the FM System:
1.Disconnect the FM System from the child’s Sound Processor
2.Verify the FM System is working by listening to the FM System. To do this, plug
the FM receiver into a small speaker or a Headset FM Checker and verify the
signal is being received and is clear.
3.If the FM System is not working, complete troubleshooting for the FM System as
recommended by the FM manufacturer. Ask the following questions:
• Are the FM transmitter and receiver on the same channel?
• Are the cables on the FM transmitter or receiver frayed or kinked?
• Has the transmitting distance been exceeded?
• D
o the batteries for the FM transmitter and/or receiver need to be
replaced?
• Is the microphone on the transmitter working?
• Are the FM settings set appropriately?
Troubleshooting the Sound Processor:
1.Can the child hear clearly with the cochlear implant alone?
2.If the child cannot hear with the cochlear implant alone, complete troubleshooting for the Sound Processor as directed by the Auria Troubleshooting
Situations listed previously in this document.
