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 sound processor delivers two types
of sound signals:
• The usual electric signals to the cochlear implant
• Extra acoustic signals to the Hybrid system.
3Hybrid User Guide
Hybrid system
The Nucleus 8 and Nucleus 7 Hybrid systems include:
• 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.
Caution
• 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.

4Hybrid User Guide
Wear the Hybrid system
Caution
• Recipients or carers should not fit the Hybrid system to the

• Do not twist the receiver cable.
1. Hold the coil in
one hand and
place the sound
processor on
your ear with
the other.
2. Place the coil
on your head.
3. Place your dome in your ear as instructed by your
clinician.
4. When removing your coil and sound processor,

your clinician.
5Hybrid User Guide
Care for your Hybrid system
Note
Your Nucleus 8 or 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).
Caution
• Handle and store the Hybrid system very carefully.
• Do not drop the Hybrid system.
The Nucleus 8 or 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.
6Hybrid 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.
