Retention options
Recipients can choose from a range of retention accessories. Clinicians should advise recipients
and their carers on which accessories best suit their needs, and demonstrate how to fit and use
them.
For more information:
ꞏ See the Nucleus 8 Sound Processor User Guide
ꞏ See the guide that is packed with each retention accessory for fitting instructions.
Note: Hybrid mode cannot be used with retention accessories, with the exception of safety lines. They
either position the sound processor off the ear, or use a custom earhook which means the acoustic
component cannot be fitted.
Cochlear Earhook
The Earhook comes in three sizes (Small, Medium and Large).
Fitting tips
Consider trying the small earhook for adults for retention and discreetness.
Cochlear Hugfit™
The Hugfit is a tamper-resistant alternative to the standard
earhook that suits children and recipients with small ears. The
soft loop comes in five sizes.
Warning: To avoid using a Hugfit that is too tight, it is important
that clinicians and parents monitor the size of Hugfit that is used,
and change to a larger Hugfit as the child grows.
