Nucleus Freedom Speech Processor Introduction Overview The Nucleus® Freedom™ speech processor is used together with a Nucleus® Freedom™ implant, to transmit sound to the cochlea. The Freedom speech processor consists of a Processing Unit, coil and a choice of two Controllers. The smaller BTE Controller allows the speech processor to be worn behind the ear as a BTE speech processor. It is powered by three 675 zinc air batteries. The larger Bodyworn Controller is worn on the body as a body worn speech processor. It uses either two AAA nickel/metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries, or disposable alkaline batteries. The two Controllers can be used interchangeably with the same Processing Unit. Warning The Freedom speech processor contains small parts that may be hazardous if swallowed, or may cause choking if ingested or inhaled. Infants and young children should wear the Bodyworn Controller in a Cochlear-provided, tamper-resistant pouch. 5 N31018F Iss2D02textmas.indd 5 8/06/2005 2:09:38 PM
