Placing the SP magnet and
the sound processor
See figure 1
The SP magnet is a round disk that is attached to
the sound processor to keep it in place over the
implant under your skin and to transfer sound
from the sound processor to the implant.
Use the tilt technique to safely and comfortably
connect and disconnect your sound processor to
the SP magnet, thereby reducing pressure on the
snap connector and SP magnet.
To connect your sound processor:
Hold the SP magnet with one hand, or put it
1
on a flat surface.
Hold the sound processor with the buttons
2
positioned upwards, tilt it and gently snap it
into place on the SP magnet.
Make sure that the marking on the SP magnet
3
is facing upwards and place the SP magnet
and sound processor over the implant behind
your ear.
It may be easier to turn the processor on before
placing it behind your ear.
To remove it from your head, grasp the SP magnet
with the sound processor still attached.
To remove the sound processor from the SP
4
magnet, place one finger under the sound
processor and gently tilt until it releases.

Note:
• During the initial period of use it is
recommended to gradually increase the time
of use of the SP magnet to allow the skin to
adapt to the pressure from the SP magnet.
If any irritation is noted the SP magnet
should be removed in order to let the skin
rest for a while. If discomfort and/or skin
irritation persist, contact your hearing care
professional.
• Make sure that the marking on the SP magnet
is always facing upwards to ensure good
retention.

• To avoid feedback (whistling), ensure that the
sound processor is not touching any other
items, such as glasses or a hat.
• It is recommended to wear a safety line
attached to the sound processor to reduce the
risk of loss or damage.
• For optimal retention, make sure that there is
not too much hair underneath the SP magnet
when placed over the implant.
SP magnet care
It is recommended to wear the SP magnet with
the soft pad attached for maximum wearing
comfort.
Keep your SP magnet clean by wiping it with an
alcohol-free wipe. Do not use running water to
clean your SP magnet.
Brush the snap coupling part clean using a soft
brush.
