TOOLS for SCHOOLS by Advanced Bionics AURIA® SOUND PROCESSOR Product Guide
Earhook Options
Standard Earhook
The standard Earhook is the basic hook that holds the Processor on the child’s ear.
With this Earhook in place, the built-in Microphone, located at the top of the Processor,
is active. The Earhook comes in Standard and Small sizes.
T-Mic® Microphone
The T-Mic Microphone is an integrated Earhook and Microphone combination.
The Microphone is omnidirectional (accesses sound from all directions) and is
designed to fit in the open-bowl portion of the ear, near the entrance to the ear canal.
The T-Mic is appropriate for everyday use and, due to the natural positioning of the
Microphone, may provide improved benefit in difficult listening situations such as
noisy environments or while on the telephone. The T-Mic requires a program setting
with Audio Mixing to work properly. Check with the child’s family or cochlear implant
center for processor settings.
NOTE: Avoid bending the T-Mic in sharp angles (90Ω or greater), as this can shorten
the lifespan of the T-Mic.
Direct Connect™ Earhook and Cable
The Direct Connect Earhook allows the user to connect to a variety of battery-
powered audio devices—such as an iPod, MP3 player, or CD player—as well as
other assistive-listening devices. To connect, a Direct Connect Cable and an Audio
Interface Cable are required along with the Earhook. The Direct Connect Cable
is available in the following lengths: 11, 24, and 36 inches. To use the Direct
Connect Earhook:
1. Place the Direct Connect Earhook onto the Sound Processor post.
2. Snap the Direct Connect Cable onto the Earhook.
3. Using the Audio Interface Cable, connect the Direct Connect Cable (Audio
Interface Jack) to the listening device audio output port.
NOTE: The auxiliary jack on both Cables is 3.5 mm in size and is designed for stereo
input. A silver Adapter is provided with the Direct Connect System. This is required to
connect a device with a mono output, such as an AM radio, to the Direct Connect
Cable or Interface.
CAUTION: Only battery-powered devices should be connected into the Direct
Connect, unless a patch cable with special electronic components is used.
NOTE: We recommend that an earmold, or Snuggie™, be utilized in addition to the
Earhook to securely fasten the Sound Processor to the child’s ear. Earmolds are custom
made for the child and are available for all of the Earhooks we provide, including the
T-Mic. For more information regarding earmolds, contact the child’s audiologist.
NOTE: All of the Earhook options listed are compatible with the Harmony Sound
Processor.
