Naída CI Q90 EAS Quick Guide
Electro-Acoustic Stimulation (EAS)
EAS is a general term that refers to the simultaneous delivery of electric stimulation (cochlear implant) and acoustic amplification
(hearing aid) to the same ear.
Naída CI Q90 EAS System
The Advanced Bionics Naída CI Q90 EAS system is designed to provide amplification of the low frequencies up to 1600 Hz in combination
with electrical stimulation delivered along the full range of the implanted electrode. The Naída CI Q90 sound processor integrates both the
acoustic and electric sound processing within one device. Fitting of the acoustic and electric parameters of the system is completed within
the SoundWave™ software program in one simplified workflow.
Naída CI Q90 EAS System Components
The Naída CI Q90 EAS system includes the following components:
• Naída CI Q90 sound processor
• Universal Headpiece (UHP)
• Power Source (PowerCel™ battery)
• Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook
• Earpiece (SlimTip or Dome)
Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook
The Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook is required for the delivery of acoustic amplification to the implanted ear. It is connected to the Naída
CI Q90 sound processor and consists of the following parts:
• xReceiver Unit – the speaker is inserted into the ear canal to deliver an
amplified acoustic signal. The Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook uses a Phonak
xP receiver adapted to attach to the Naída CI Q90 sound processor.
• Sound Outlet – where the amplified acoustic signal exits the receiver. It is
important to keep the Sound Outlet clean and clear of wax and debris.
• Retention Hook – may be used to securely maintain the receiver within the
ear canal.
• Retention Hook Guide Dash – illustrates where and how to place the
retention hook on the xReceiver unit. Refer to the guide included with each
Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook for detailed instructions on the removal and
placement of the retention hook on the xReceiver unit.
• Side Indicator – indicates which ear the receiver is designed for, blue for left
and red for right.
The Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook may be ordered in one of five different lengths (00, 0, 1, 2, 3) for either the left or right ear. The
length is noted on the xReceiver unit on the side indicator (ex. 2xP). We have provided you with a measurement tool that you can use to
determine the appropriate length for your patient. Please refer to the guide included with each Naída CI Q90 Acoustic Earhook for detailed
instructions on how to attach the Earhook to the sound processor using the pin removal tool provided.
