The Lens
The Lens is driven by light waves that contain sound information. When the Lens
detects light waves, it gently activates your natural hearing system allowing you to
hear sound. To keep your Lens functioning properly, you must apply mineral oil
weekly and do not put foreign objects in your ear (such as Q-tips, bobby pins, and
your fingernails).

Sound enters the microphone on the Earlens
Photon Processor, which transforms the sound
and sends the audio signal to the Light Tip.
2
The Light Tip converts the audio signal into light
and then projects the light wave to the Lens, which
makes direct contact with the eardrum.
3
When the Lens is activated by the light wave,
it vibrates the eardrum gently at different
frequencies—resulting in rich, natural sound.
