It is important to take care of your Cochlear™ Nucleus® 6 Sound Processor so that you can enjoy uninterrupted hearing and hear the moments that matter most to you. There is one little trick that may save you from a headache and money spent on replacement parts.
Did you know that one of the common mistakes Nucleus 6 Sound Processor recipients make is twisting the coil cable? Twisting the coil cable may irreparably damage the Nucleus 6 Sound Processor cable port, coil, and/or the cable.
Follow these simple steps in the event you need to change the coil cable:
- Hold the coil cable grip.
IMPORTANT: Do not tug on the flexible part of the cable or twist the coil cable when removing from the sound processor.
- Use your fingernails to hold the cable grip and pull the coil cable firmly off the coil.
REMINDER: Do NOT twist the coil cable!
- Push the new coil cable into the sound processor until it clicks into place.
- Push the new coil cable into the coil until it clicks into place.

- Do firmly pull the coil cable straight out the sound processor to remove it or push it straight in to attach it.
