NUCLEUS® 7 HYBRID™ USER GUIDE
Hybrid mode explained
Hybrid mode may benefit Cochlear implant recipients who
have some residual hearing, by providing amplified sound
(like a hearing aid).
In Hybrid mode, your Nucleus 7 Sound Processor delivers
two types of sound signals:
• the usual electric signals to the Cochlear implant
• extra acoustic signals to the Hybrid system.
3NUCLEUS® 7 HYBRID™ USER GUIDE
Nucleus 7 Hybrid system
The Nucleus 7 Hybrid system is made up of:
• The Cochlear Hybrid Earhook–replaces your normal
earhook, and connects the Cochlear Hybrid Receiver to
your sound processor.
• The Cochlear Hybrid Receiver–a cable with a speaker
unit that fits in your ear. It has a replaceable wax filter.
• A dome–fits over the speaker unit to hold it in place
and protect your ear. It is disposable and has a built-in
wax filter.
CAUTIONS
• Your clinician will select the receiver and dome that you
should use. Do not substitute any other parts.
• Your clinician will attach and remove the receiver for you. Do
not attempt to do this yourself.

1. Hold the coil in
one hand and
place the sound
processor on
your ear with

Care for your Hybrid system
NOTE
Your Nucleus 7 Hybrid system is not compatible with any parts
that can be used with Freedom, CP800 Series or CP900 Series
Sound Processors (e.g. domes, earmoulds, receivers or
earhook).
CAUTIONS
• Handle and store the Hybrid system very carefully.
• Do not drop the Hybrid system.
The Nucleus 7 Hybrid system provides the benefit of two
wax filters:
1. An in-built wax filter in the disposable dome.
2. A replaceable wax filter fitted in the receiver’s speaker
unit.
Every day
• Check the dome and its filter. Change the dome
whenever its filter is clogged with wax, or whenever the
dome is dirty, discoloured or losing shape.
• When changing the dome, also check the wax filter in
the speaker unit. Change the speaker unit filter
whenever it is clogged with wax or if the sound from
the speaker unit does not sound normal.
6
NUCLEUS® 7 HYBRID™ USER GUIDE
Change the dome
1. Pull the dome off,
using your
fingernails if
necessary, and
discard.
2. Push the new dome
directly onto the
speaker unit.
3. Click it securely into
place.

Change the speaker unit wax filter
CAUTION
Wax filters must ALWAYS be used with the Hybrid system and
replaced regularly.

ProWax tool from
its shell. One point
on the tool has a
removal tool and
the other point has
the new filter.
2. Insert the removal
tool into the
existing wax filter
and gently move
the filter from side
to side and remove
it from the speaker
unit.
3. Push the new filter
into the speaker
unit.
4. Dispose of the tool
and used wax filter.

Warnings
For parents and carers
• Contact your clinician for advice on choosing the most
suitable Hybrid system for children.
• Do not allow children to replace a Hybrid system.
• Keep all parts of the Hybrid system out of reach of
children. Removable parts (e.g. domes and wax
management systems) can be lost or may be a choking
hazard.
• Carers should routinely check for signs of discomfort.
See your clinician if you are concerned that the Hybrid
system is not working at a comfortable sound level.
Hybrid system
• Refit and replace domes regularly to ensure optimal
fitting and retention. Consult your clinician for advice
on Hybrid system misfits or signs of discomfort.
• Remove your sound processor if there is any discomfort
or pain (e.g. sound level is uncomfortably loud) and
inform your clinician.
• If the dome is not securely attached to your Hybrid
system, it could fall off in your ear canal. If this happens,
see your medical practitioner.
