The Naída CI Sound Processor and Accessories Overview
The Naída CI is the newest and most advanced cochlear implant sound processor available.
As evidence of Advanced Bionics' dedication to providing the best hearing possible, the Naída
CI provides access to AutoSound™ technology, which dynamically adapts to every listening
environment, automatically adjusting volume levels to optimize hearing. The Naída CI is
also capable of utilizing all approved sound processing options offered by Advanced Bionics.
Depending on the country in which you live, this may include HiRes™-S, HiRes™-P, HiRes Fidelity
120™, ClearVoice™, HiRes Optima™, CIS, and MPS.
The Naída CI
The Naída CI is a miniature computer that converts sound picked up by the microphone into
electrical signals that are used by the cochlear implant to enable hearing. It is able to store up
to five (5) user-selectable programs for optimal hearing across all listening environments.
The Naída CI has diagnostic indicators, such as LEDs and internal audible alarms. The Naída CI
LEDs provide important information about Naída CI status, battery life, program position, audio
input, and Naída CI error conditions. Internal alarms provide a discreet way for adult recipients
to get important information about battery status, program number, and volume level. For more
information, refer to the Naída CI LEDs
The Naída CI can be programmed using IntelliLink™ to prevent use by a cochlear implant other
than the one for which it has been programmed. IntelliLink is an important safety feature for
very young children and bilateral implant recipients.
The Naída CI can also be programmed bilaterally allowing the recipient access to up to ten
programs on a single processor, up to five programs for the left ear and up to five programs
for the right ear. When programmed bilaterally by your clinical professional, the Naída CI will
detect which ear it is worn on and provide access to the appropriate programs for that ear.

The Universal Headpiece

The Universal Headpiece includes a coil that transmits sound signals and power to the implant,
as well as a magnet well, which houses the necessary number of magnets to ensure the
headpiece stays on throughout the day. The headpiece is covered by a Color Cap, which snaps
securely in place. The headpiece also functions as a sound input source, having a microphone
embedded in it. The microphone picks up sound from the environment and transfers it to the
sound processor via a detachable cable. Once the sound processor has converted the sound
into electric signals, it sends the information to the implant via the cable and headpiece. The
cables come in a variety of colors and lengths to suit all needs. The Naída CI sound processor
works with the Universal Headpiece.
Microphone
The Universal Headpiece (UHP), works with all Advanced Bionics' sound processors, and is
intended for use with the Naída CI processor outside of water environments.
For more information, refer to the Replacing Headpiece Cables
UHP and/or Cable Instructions for Use.

AB myPilot

The AB myPilot is an advanced remote control that leverages Phonak technology to enable
wireless communication for unilateral and bilateral Naída CI recipients. The AB myPilot provides
convenient controls to manipulate program, volume, sensitivity, source-specific listening checks,
and ZoomControl for the Naída CI. The AB myPilot also has the ability to provide status and
battery information for Naída CI processors. For bilateral Naída CI users, AB myPilot offers one-
touch binaural controls, allowing changes to be made to both processors at once.
