Osia
2 Sound Processor Clinician's Quick Guide
®
Intended use
The Cochlear Osia System uses bone conduction to transmit
sounds to the cochlea (inner ear) with the purpose of
enhancing hearing.
Indications
•
The Cochlear Osia System is indicated for patients
with conductive, mixed hearing loss and single-sided
sensorineural deafness (SSD).
•
Patients should have sufficient bone quality and quantity
to support successful implant placement.
•
The Osia System is indicated for patients with up to
55 dB SNHL.
Wear the sound processor
To achieve the optimal hearing outcome, it is important
that you show recipients how to correctly place the
Cochlear™ Osia
2 Sound Processor on their implant.
®
To reduce the risk of losing the sound processor, you
can use the Safety Line or Cochlear Headband. See
the Osia 2 Sound Processor User Manual for details.
CAUTION
It is important to position the sound processor correctly
to get the best performance.
Selecting magnet strength
Selecting the magnet strength is key to effective retention of
the sound processor. If a magnet is too weak, the processor
may fall off the head. If it is too strong, the recipient can
experience discomfort or skin irritation. Magnet strength
ranges from 1 (weakest) to 4 (strongest).
Magnet selection can be affected by several factors:
•
skin flap thickness
•
use of a Cochlear SoftWear™ Pad (for recipient comfort)
•
use of retention aids (e.g. Cochlear Headband, Safety Line)
•
thickness of the recipient's hair
Inserting and removing a magnet
To insert a magnet
1
Use the magnet tool to pick up the magnet. To couple it
correctly make sure that the gripping edges in the tool are
aligned with the notches in the magnet.
2
Insert the magnet into the sound processor and turn
clockwise to lock in to place.
NOTE
Using the tool will ensure that the magnet is inserted
with the correct magnetic pole orientation.

Clinical benefit
Most recipients of a bone conduction hearing solution will
experience improved hearing performance and quality of life
compared to unaided listening.
Serious incidents
Serious incidents are rare, any serious incident in relation
to your device should be reported to your Cochlear
representative and to the medical device authority in your
country, if available.
