Shape The Hybrid Receiver Cable - Cochlear Nucleus 7 Hybrid Mode Professionals Manual

Shape the Hybrid receiver cable

Problem: Hybrid receiver cable is between sizes – too long or too short.
Solution: To improve fitting comfort and retention, the Hybrid receiver cable is heat
formable. This allows for variations in ear anatomy and for those recipients whose
measurements fall between two lengths.
1. Remove the sound processor from the
ear and heat the Hybrid receiver cable
with hot air equipment (a few seconds
only, 130 °C max).
2. To add length, straighten the S curve.
3. To stop the Hybrid receiver cable
bowing from the side of the ear, or to
increase the insertion depth, adjust
the bend into the canal.
4. Hold the Hybrid receiver cable in the
desired shape until it is cool. It must
be cool before it is tried on the ear
again.
