Program new Hybrid mode recipients
To program a new Nucleus 7 Sound Processor recipient in Hybrid mode using the Custom
Sound software:
1. Create a recipient and input their audiogram.
2. Obtain impedance measurements.
3. Create a Hybrid mode MAP.
4. Fit the MAP to the recipient.
5. Balance electrical and acoustic loudness.
6. Save the MAP(s) and write to the processor.
Convert existing CI only or Hybrid mode recipients
To convert an existing recipient (Freedom Hybrid, CP800 Series or CP900 Series) to a
Nucleus 7 Sound Processor in Hybrid mode in the Custom Sound software:
1. Check that an up to date audiogram is entered for the recipient.
2. Open the existing Freedom Hybrid, CP800 Series or CP900 Series MAP.
3. Obtain impedance measurements.
4. Select the MAP to convert:
4a. Select ‘Convert’.
4b. Click on the ‘Acoustics’ button in the ‘Set Levels’ screen.
4c. Ensure the ‘Hybrid MAP’ checkbox is selected and click the ‘Recalculate’ button.
4d. Select the ‘Receiver’ that is connected to the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor.
5. Fine-tune the MAP.
All electrical path parameters from the existing MAP are automatically copied to the
electrical path parameters of the Nucleus 7 system. However, you should check that
the acoustic and electrical path balance provides the best possible listening experience
for the recipient. To fine-tune the acoustic path:
5a. Fit the MAP to the recipient.
5b. Balance electrical and acoustic loudness.
6. Save the MAP(s) and write to the processor.
