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.
