T-Mic2

Study These Flashcards

Utilizes outer ear’s natural sound-gathering capabilities (like normal hearing ears)
wires conformable
redesigned using Phonak in-the-ear receiver technology, making it smaller and more reliable
Has additional mic saver component to protect the mic from dirt, dust, and debris

T-Mic2 Cover- how often to change

Study These Flashcards

Change every 3-4 months

Recipients get several and clinics have extras

How to change the earhook

Study These Flashcards

Need Pin removal tool
Don’t need to push out all the way
If falls out, have small hole at end of pin to assist with replacing pin.
Clinics get pins free (if patients run out, have to pay…)

Zinc-Air Batteries

Last 3-4 weeks when not in use 2 small vent holes to create air channel

PowerCel Charger

PowerCel Batteries- take ~2-3 hrs. to fully charge depleted (varies slightly on type) Recommended to use and recharge at least once every 3 months Will decrease in capacity with age (normal for all rechargeable batteries)

Bilateral Sound Processor

up to 5 programs for left and up to 5 programs for right into 1 Naída CI Q70/90! - Processor will read internal serial number and use that processor's programs - If have stronger ear, always have the better ear hearing and a backup processor - CAVEAT- no data logging

Naída CI Q70- FM Access through Telecoil

Activate Telecoil in a program - use in conjunction with looped room or Phonak myLink - allows recipient to hear the speaker without the use of connecting wires - access to bilateral/bimodal FM with universal myLink - Attach FM receiver directly to ComPilot and activate telecom in FM program

Naída CI Q70- Internal Alarm Low Battery

Will begin to notify recipient ~45 minutes prior to depletion and will sound every 15 minutes - On average, recipients will receive 3-4 alerts

Naída CI Q70- Listening Check

- Listen to mic inputs on a program by program basis or with AB myPilot listen to mic inputs independently - Listen to internal alarms - Utilizes the Naída CI PowerCel as the power source

Naída CI Q70- Microphone Modes

Omni-directional: single microphone technology focusing sound from all directions UltraZoom: dual microphone technology focusing on sound from a speaker located in front of the listener

UltraZoom

- Zooms in on sound in front of listening, while noise from the sides and back is reduced - "Miner's helmet" for focused listening - 60˚ focus - Adaptive beam former - Unilateral or Bilateral feature - A Phonak microphone technology - Mic Sources need to be Processor Mic

UltraZoom without ClearVoice Benefit- Study Results

Benefits listening with 4dB improvement --> 36% improvement in speech understanding in noise

UltraZoom with ClearVoice- Study Results

6.1dB improvement --> 55% improvement in speech understanding in noise

Binaural VoiceStream Technology

DuoPhone ZoomControl QuickSync DirectTouch For Bilateral Naída CI recipients

DuoPhone

Effortlessly stream phone calls to both ears Dampens signal on receiving ear by 6dB - Hear phone conversations in both ears simultaneously!

ZoomControl

Focus on sound coming from L or R (and F and B) For L and R, dampens signal on receiving ear by 12 dB - When listens can't face speaker (driving in a car, treadmill, airplane, etc.)

ClearVoice and ZoomControl Study Results

2.4 dB improvement --> 22% improvement in speech understanding in noise

QuickSync

No one else has this Simultaneously change programs or volume on both sound processors with 1 touch for balanced hearing all the time Easy, instant adjustments to volume and program settings on 2 Naída CIs

DirectTouch

Provides recipient ability to select side to zoom listening to or ear to stream phone calls to - Choose hearing direction for ZoomControl and DuoPhone

Neptune- T-Comm Benefits

- Improved hearing in noise and localization - Ease of use with telephone, headphones, and Bluetooth receivers - T-Coil option - Small and extremely lightweight

Neptune Wearing Options

Freestyle - In hair - On arm - Clipped to collar - In pocket - etc.

Neptune Wearing Accessories

pouches, arm bands, swim caps (acoustically transparent), lanyards

Neptune- Amount of Colors

Neptune Connect- 2 (white or black) Color Caps- 10

Neptune- UHP vs. AquaMic

UHP- - compatible with all AB sound processors - designed for use during everyday activities with the exception of swimming and bathing AquaMic- - for use only with Neptune and AquaCase - Designed for use during swimming and bathing - IP68 rating

UHP- Colors

15 color cap options cables of various color and lengths

AquaMic- Colors

4 color cap options cables - black or white 6 lengths

How to tell the difference between UHP and AquaMic

Size: UHP is slightly thinner Color: UHP underside is black; AquaMic underside is grey (grey is for water play) Cable Connector: headpiece specific
