Product Description
The M T-Mic is an attachment to the Advanced Bionics
Naída™ CI M and Sky CI™ M sound processors.
TheMT-Mic is a microphone which is designed to fit at the
natural opening of the ear canal when the sound processor
is worn in a behind-the-ear configuration. This enables
access to cell phones, consumer audio electronics, and
assistive listening devices. Sound from this microphone
issent to the Naída CI M or Sky CI M sound processor.
There are three sizes of the M T-Mic to accommodate
dierent ear sizes and shapes: Small, Medium and Large.

The M T-Mic and M Earhooks are intended for use with
the Advanced Bionics Naída CI M and Sky CI M Sound
Processors. The M T-Mic is intended to pick up sound
at the natural opening of the ear canal when the sound
processor is worn in a behind-the-ear configuration. The
M Earhook is intended to hold the sound processor on the
ear when the sound processor is worn in a behind-the-ear
configuration.
The intended users of the M T-Mics and M Earhooks are
users of the Naída CI M or Sky CI M Sound Processors.
The intended use environments of the M T-Mic and M
Earhooks are healthcare and daily living environments.
Compatibility
The M T-Mic and M Earhooks are compatible with
only Naída CI M and Sky CI M sound processors from
Advanced Bionics.
Operating Instructions
Connecting the M T-Mic or M Earhook to the sound
processor
Beginning with the M T-Mic or M Earhook disconnected
and the earhook pin uninstalled, align the M T-Mic or M
Earhook flush with the sound processor. Hold the M T-Mic
or M Earhook firmly at the top and push towards the sound
processor until it meets flush with the sound processor.

6
Using the provided pin removal tool, place one of the pins
in the small hole on the side of the tool. This will help to
steady the pin as you line it up with the pin hole on the
MT-Mic or M Earhook.
Line up the pin with the hole in the M T-Mic or M Earhook
and gently push it through the hole. The pin will move
from one side of the sound processor, through the M T-Mic
or MEarhook to the other side of the sound processor,
holding the M T-Mic or M Earhook in place. The pin should
not come out the other side.

7
If a small portion of the pin extends beyond the sound
processor, use the side of the tool to push the pin inwards
so it lies flush with the sound processor.
.
Pull the tool away from the sound processor, leaving the
pin inside the sound processor.

8
Removing the M T-Mic or M Earhook
Align the pointed end of the tool with the hole on the
sound processor that contains the pin holding the M T-Mic
or M Earhook on the sound processor.
Gently press the tool in the hole, pushing the pin out the
other side.
The pin does not need to be removed from the sound
processor. As long as the tool is pushed in flush on one
side of the sound processor, the pin should be displaced
enough to adequately remove the M T-Mic or M Earhook.
Remove the tool from the sound processor. Gently grasp

9
the M T-Mic or M Earhook at the top near where it connects
with the sound processor and pull forward until it is
separated from the sound processor.
Attaching the T-Mic cover
Hold the T-Mic cover. In the other hand, hold the M T-Mic
at the end that houses the microphone. Align the bottom of
the T-Mic with the T-Mic cover. Gently turn the M T-Mic into
the T-Mic cover. Screw until they are flush with one another.

10
Removing the M T-Mic cover
Grasp the end of the M T-Mic where the T-Mic cover is
located, in one hand. Firmly hold the M T-Mic microphone
portion in the other hand. Turn the hand holding the T-Mic
cover to slowly unscrew the T-Mic cover from the M T-Mic.
Continue turning until the T-Mic cover separates from
theM T-Mic.
