Cochlear Nucleus 8 - Patient Population, Benefits, and Users

12 Nucleus 8 Sound Processor Guide for Clinicians
Retention options
Recipients can choose from a range of retention accessories. Clinicians should advise recipients
and their carers on which accessories best suit their needs, and demonstrate how to t and use
them.
For more information:
ꞏ See the Nucleus8 Sound Processor User Guide for a complete list of retention accessories
ꞏ See the guide that is packed with each retention accessory for tting instructions.
Note: Hybrid mode cannot be used with retention accessories, with the exception of safety lines. They
either position the sound processor o the ear, or use a custom earhook which means the acoustic
component cannot be tted.
Cochlear Earhook
The Earhook comes in three sizes (Small, Medium and Large).
Fitting tips
Consider trying the small earhook for adults for retention and discreetness.
Cochlear Hugt™
The Hugt is a tamper-resistant alternative to the standard
earhook that suits children and recipients with small ears. The
soft loop comes in ve sizes.
Warning: To avoid using a Hugt that is too tight, it is important
that clinicians and parents monitor the size of Hugt that is used,
and change to a larger Hugt as the child grows.
