This manual for the Neuro One sound processor explains how to use the device as well as the precautions for use to be observed. If the information provided in this manual and in the packaging of the Neuro One sound processor is incom- plete or illegible, please contact the manufacturer or your local distributor.
The Left/Right stickers need to be stuck on a part of the sound processor which is not in contact with the skin. Finally, in case of a fault with one of the sound processors, contact Oticon Medical or your local distributor for a solution.
The cochlear implant system consists of an external part and an internal part. External part • A Neuro One behind-the-ear hearing device (1) with two microphones. • An external antenna (2) connected to the sound processor via an antenna cable (3).

Identification Stickers Left/Right Pictures are not contractually binding Note: The references are provided in this IFU in the section “References of Neuro One sound processor, spare parts and accessories”...
The sound processor is identified visually by its marking and serial number. The serial number of your Neuro One sound processor is indicated on the inside of the battery compartment: “Pxxxx” (for example P1495/P = sound processor generation / xxxx = serial number).
• Connect the antenna cable to the sound processor via the antenna socket. The ends of the antenna cable and of the Neuro One sound processor antenna are equipped with a foolproof key. The connection of the antenna cable to the sound processor, as well as the antenna cable to the antenna, must ensure that the foolproof key is facing in the right direction with respect to the socket and the cable (see paragraph "Sound...
For an optimal fit of the sound processor on the ear (notably for paediatric use or active/sport activities), we recommend that you use the silicon holding buckle provided in the Neuro One accessories box. It is recommended that you refer to the “Accessories Instructions for use” to see how to fit this.
It is recommended that you keep the batteries in a dry place away from temperature variations and observe the expiry date indicated on the packaging. The two batteries used for powering the Neuro One must be the same type and be changed at the same time.
Private alarm The Neuro One sound processor indicates the end of the battery life by consecutive audible beeps (private alarm) that cannot be heard by those around you. Your clinician must first configure this functionality at the time of an adjustment, so that you may benefit from this private alarm.
• Open the battery compartment and remove both batteries. • Place your Neuro One in the desiccation drying system and follow the steps in the related instructions or in the “Accessories user manual”, and close it until using the sound processor again.
Warning: This sound processor is equipped with an automatic restart device in case of malfunction. This leads to momentary power loss. 5. Programme button The Neuro One sound processor enables four different programmes to be saved (P1, P2, P3, P4). The person responsible for the settings can define these programmes according to your preferences and conditions of use (normal surroundings, noisy surroundings, use of FM system, Telecoil, etc.).
In case of a significant error that may alter the stimulation, the sound processor restarts (leading to momentary power loss) and then the light flashes quickly and extinguishes. If the problem persists, contact your local distributor or the Oticon Medical after-sales service.
8. List of additional accessories available For more information about the accessories and their use, refer to the accessories manual available on the USB memory stick provided with the kit. Cover Clip This Nylon and Spandex cover protects the sound processor from moisture and perspiration, notably during sporting activities or in case of a damp environment.
The use of such a system requires an adjustment at your implant centre in order to define a new specific programme. You then just need to connect your system to the auxiliary socket of the Neuro One and select the programme specified by your clinician (P1, P2, P3 or P4).
1. Care Precautions The Neuro One sound processor contains high performance electronic components that can be damaged. It must therefore be handled with care and not be exposed to extreme temperatures. Secondly, under certain conditions, the temperature (T°C) of your sound processor may reach 42°C maximum instead of 39°C (temperature when working normally).
Desiccation system In case your sound processor is stopped for prolonged periods (for example during the night), we recommend removing both batteries and placing the Neuro One in the desiccation box (Perfect Dry ® provided for absorbing the residual humidity. Refer to the user instructions before use or to the "Accessories user manual"...
Concerned about the preservation of our environment, Oticon Medical is a member of the environmental body Récylum (France) for the collection and recycling of our devices. You can send us your system (or via your distributor) so that your hearing system can be recycled.
The MRI exam has to be processed with head first. Settings Each sound processor is programmed by a clinician authorised by Oticon Medical for personal use and must not under any circumstances be lent to or exchanged with another person.
Tools and Troubleshooting 1. Testing tools Various functionalities and tools are made available to you in order to check that the Neuro One sound processor and its accessories are working properly: • Indicator light. • Private alarm to detect the end of battery life.
Microphone earphones The Neuro One sound processor is equipped with an auxiliary socket that enables one to listen to the audio signals which enter the sound processor. This accessory is used to identify problems on the microphone: microphone entry blocked, faulty microphone.
