The Nucleus® Aqua Accessory is a reusable
sealable pouch for keeping your sound processor dry
during use in water (e.g. while swimming). It is worn
behind the ear with the sound processor sealed inside.
The aqua accessory is intended for use by recipients of
all ages, provided they can either remove their sound
processor themselves or indicate any discomfort to their
parent or caregiver.
The aqua accessory is only for use with Nucleus behind-
the-ear sound processors with rechargeable batteries.
Testing shows the aqua accessory can be re-used 20 times,
but this may vary depending on your particular use of it.
The aqua accessory is not recommended for use at depths
exceeding four metres.
