This guide is intended for Cochlear implant recipients and their
carers using the Cochlear™Nucleus®7 Sound Processor (model
number: CP1000). The processor works with your implant to
transfer sound to your ear, and is made up of a processing unit,
earhook, coil and cable, magnet and a battery module.
You can power your processor with disposable or rechargeable
batteries.
You can control your processor by pressing its button, or by using
your Cochlear Remote Control or the Nucleus Smart App.
People with certain types of hearing loss can wear the processor
in Hybrid™mode by adding an acoustic component which sends
amplified acoustic sound into the ear canal.
A number of tools and accessories are supplied with your
processor.
NOTES
• Refer to the relevant sections for cautions and warnings
relating to the use of the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor,
batteries and components.

Battery life
Batteries should be replaced as needed just as you would
with any other electronic device. Battery life varies
according to the programs used each day, your implant
type, the thickness of skin covering your implant, and the
size and type of battery.
The rechargeable battery’s lifespan is at least 400 charge
cycles. A completely empty rechargeable battery will take
approximately four hours to recharge.
Rechargeable batteries may take longer to fully recharge
with age. To get the longest life from the rechargeable
batteries, always recharge before use.
To help you get the longest life from the batteries, your
clinician can set your sound processor to turn off two
minutes after you take it off your implant.
