Quick Guide for Clinicians

Microphone position
Microphone position is important for sound quality!
• Orient the sound processor so it faces the same way as
when it is worn on the ear.
• Use a magnet that is strong enough to prevent the
Headworn adaptor from rotating on the recipient's head.
NOTE
When using telecoil, start with the sound processor upright.
Adjust its orientation a little if necessary to get the best
performance.
Coil position and noise
Due to the coil being close to the sound processor:
• The recipient may hear some noise (e.g. buzzing) during
normal use.
• When using telecoil, the recipient may hear more noise
than usual, compared with behind the ear use.
Wireless communications
When using the Headworn adaptor, the recipient may
experience some obstruction of wireless communications
(paired iOS devices, remote control, wireless accessories):
• Instruct the recipient to move their sound processor and/or
the wireless device to ensure a clear line of sight for best
performance.
Programming instructions
The Headworn adaptor should support your recipient's normal
programs. However, if their hearing performance deteriorates,
try these solutions:
• Create custom MAPs that don't use SCAN.
• Use fixed directionality only (Standard or Zoom).
