Nucleus CP920 Sound Processor - Cochlear implant system sound processor

Intended purpose

The processing unit is intended to be used in combination with other devices as part of a hearing implant system to provide hearing sensation. The processing unit converts sounds into electrical signals, which it sends, via a coil, to an implant. The processing unit also provides power to the implant. When used in combination with an audio receiver, the sound processor also delivers sound to the ear canal in recipients with residual hearing.

Functional description

The CP920 Sound Processor is used together with a cochlear implant to transmit sound to the cochlea (inner ear).
