This manual provides the most comprehensive source of information
available for your processor.

Overview

Your processor enables the combination of electrical and acoustic
hearing in a single Behind The Ear (BTE) processor.
The processor is suitable for recipients who have residual levels of
low frequency hearing. It is used together with a Nucleus
Implant, Nucleus Freedom Implant or a Nucleus 24 Implant,
(specifi cally the CI24R and CI24M models) to transmit sound to the
cochlea.
Your processor consists of the Processing Unit, coil, Freedom Hybrid
Acoustic Component and a choice of three wearing options.
The BTE Controller allows your processor to be worn behind the ear
as a BTE Processor. It is powered by three 675 disposable batteries or
the BTE rechargeable battery.
The Mini BTE Controller also allows your processor to be worn
behind the ear as a BTE Processor. It is powered by two 675
disposable batteries.
