Advanced Bionics Slim HP Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 14

The Slim HP is a headpiece with an integrated cable
designed for use with a sound processor on the ear and
is intended to transfer sound signals and power between
Advanced Bionics' cochlear implant and sound processor.
The Slim HP Mic headpieces are part of the external
components of an auditory active-implantable system, the
HiResolution Bionic Ear system. The HiResolution Bionic
Ear system is intended to provide auditory sensation via
electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve for individuals
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 Mic is a headpiece with an integrated cable and
a microphone designed for use with a sound processor worn
off the ear. 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.
The Slim HP AquaMic headpieces are part of the external
TM
components of an auditory active-implantable system,
the HiResolution Bionic Ear system. The HiResolution Bionic
Ear system is intended to provide auditory sensation via
