Intended Users - Advanced Bionics Slim HP Série Mode D'emploi

with severe to profound bilateral or unilateral sensorineural
hearing loss. Severe hearing loss is defined as audiometric
thresholds greater than or equal to 70 dB HL, but less than
90 dB HL. Profound hearing loss is defined as audiometric
thresholds greater than or equal to 90 dB HL. The external
components work together with the implant to bypass
the damaged part of the inner ear and convert sound
picked up by the microphone or streamed via wireless
communication into electrical signals that are used by
the cochlear implant to enable hearing.
The Slim HP AquaMic is a headpiece with an integrated
TM
cable and a microphone designed for use in water
environments. It is intended to transfer sound signals and
power between Advanced Bionics' cochlear implant and
sound processor. The embedded microphone, if enabled,
allows the headpiece to also function as a sound input source.

Intended Users

The intended users of the Slim HPs are recipients of the
Neptune, Naída™ CI Q, Naída™ CI M, or Sky CI™ M sound
processors, their caregivers if applicable, and hearing care
professionals.
The recipient, or their caregiver, should, at a minimum,
be capable of changing the battery, connecting the
earhook, placing and removing the sound processor from
their ear, and placing and removing the headpiece from
the implant site.
The hearing care professional should be trained in the use
and fitting of the cochlear implant system.
