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 M T-Mic and M Earhooks are intended for use with
the Advanced Bionics Naída CI M and Sky CI M Sound
Processors. The M T-Mic is intended to pick up sound at the
natural opening of the ear canal when the sound processor
is worn in a behind-the-ear configuration. The M Earhook is
intended to hold the sound processor on the ear when the
sound processor is worn in a behind-the-ear configuration.

Intended Users

The intended users of the M T-Mics and M Earhooks are
users of the 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.
