14 Nucleus 8 Sound Processor Guide for Clinicians
Retention options
Cochlear Headworn Adaptor
The Headworn adaptor allows recipients to wear their sound processor o-the-ear.
Fitting tips
ꞏ Use a coil with the 6, 8 or 11 cm cable.
ꞏ Use the compact rechargeable battery module for less
weight and a better t.
ꞏ Recipients may need to use a stronger magnet to
prevent the Headworn adaptor rotating on their head.
ꞏ If the recipient already uses a strong magnet (e.g. 5 or
6) they may not be able to use the Headworn adaptor.
Warning: Increasing magnet strength may cause tightness, pain
or pressure sores at the implant site.
Bilateral labelling
For bilateral recipients, you can use the blue (left) and red (right) Nucleus Bilateral Identication
Adhesive Labels to label the left and right Headworn adaptors:
Microphone position
Microphone position is important for sound quality!
ꞏ Orient the sound processor so it faces the same way as when it is worn on the ear.
ꞏ Use a magnet that is strong enough to prevent the Headworn adaptor from rotating on
the recipient’s head.
Note: When using telecoil, start with the sound processor upright. Adjust its orientation a little if
necessary to get the best performance.
