The Aqua+ should support your recipient’s normal programs.
However, if their hearing performance deteriorates, try these
solutions:
• Create custom MAPs that don’t use SCAN
• Use fixed directionality only (Standard or Zoom, with WNR
off).
Programmingwith Nucleus7Aqua+
To use wired programming with the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor,
use the Cochlear Programming Cable with the Freedom™
Programming Pod.
For more information, see the Freedom Programming Pod User
Guide.
NOTE
Wired programming can only be carried out in clinical
environments.

The Nucleus 7 Sound Processor and accessories fulfil the essential
requirements listed in Annex 1 of the EC directive 90/385/EEC on
Active Implantable Medical Devices as per the conformity assessment
procedure in Annex 2.
ForwardFocus is an additional user-controlled feature designed
to help recipients hear better in face-to-face conversations by
reducing distracting noise occurring behind the recipient.
IMPORTANT
Only enable ForwardFocus for users who can reliably provide
feedback on sound quality in different or changing environments.
Give special consideration to young children and advise their
carers on the importance of feedback from the recipient to ensure
the most appropriate program is being used.
If you enable ForwardFocus for a recipient, they turn it on and
off using the Nucleus Smart App.
Advise recipients to position themselves correctly before turning
on ForwardFocus so that the distracting noise is behind them.
NOTES
• If the sound processor is turned off, ForwardFocus will be turned
off.
• Remind the recipient to turn ForwardFocus off when they move
to a different listening situation, for example, when moving
from a noisy cafe to a quiet room.

If you believe your recipient may benefit from bass and treble

Only enable bass and treble control for users who can reliably
provide feedback on sound quality. Give special consideration to
young children, older adults or difficult to test recipients.
