Intended purpose

The replacement magnet is intended to be used to replace the magnet of the hearing implant that has been removed to facilitate a medical procedure. The magnet enables an external coil to be retained in place and correctly aligned with the implant coil.

Functional description

Holds the coil of the external sound processor firmly against the recipient’s head via magnetic attraction, and thus provides correct alignment between the implant coil and sound processor coil to ensure efficient power and data transfer.
