How To Apply For Cochlear

Applying the Hearing Aid Sweat Band to your Cochlear device for wind, weather, and moisture protection.

Cochlear Corporation instructions

Installing the moisture protection socklet

These instructions explain how to install the Hearing Aid Sweat Band wind, weather, and moisture protection socklet on the ESPrit 22, ESPrit 24, or 3G.

Many recipients have found the Hearing Aid Sweat Band beneficial when wearing their Cochlear BTE or BW body-worn headset during active or strenuous sports, or in very high-humidity situations such as walking along the seashore or fishing.

Sound-booth testing showed approximately 1.5-2 dB of dampening. Most recipients state that this change is barely noticeable.

Care reminder: Use the following instructions as installation tips for the Cochlear BTE. After sports or other activity, follow the manufacturer's directions for cleaning and reuse. This cover is intended to reduce exposure; it does not make the processor waterproof.

Step-by-step

Instructions

Follow each step carefully. Do not break or cut the fabric threads while opening the knit around the earhook or cable connector.

1
Prepare the processor

Start with any ESPrit and a sock or two. Most pictures show the 3G, but the same techniques apply. The 3G is just a little trickier.
2
Open the elastic end

Start at the earhook end and gently open the elastic end of the sock.
3
Slide the sock over

Carefully slide the open end of the sock over the processor.
4
Stretch over the earhook

Stretch the sock tightly over the earhook tip or ball and slowly expand the threads over the ball without breaking or cutting them.
5
Verify your settings

Confirm that the processor settings are correct and remain accessible through the fabric.
6
Mark the cable exit

For the 3G, slide the sock down and mark the exit point of the cable coil.
7
Confirm the exit point

Check the mark against the cable position before expanding the fabric.
Note: This step is not necessary for the ESPrit or ESPrit 22 because the cable exits from the bottom of the processor.
8
Prepare the marked area

Locate the mark from the outside of the fabric and prepare it for gentle expansion.
9
Expand the fabric

At the mark, carefully expand the threads of the fabric over a pen. Do not cut the fabric.
10
Detach the cable coil

Slide the sock back to the top to allow finger access, then detach the cable coil.
11
Reconnect through the opening

From the outside, insert the cable coil connector through the expanded opening and reconnect it to the 3G.
12
Cover the processor

Stretch the sock over the rest of the 3G processor.
13
Finish the installation

Cover as much of the processor as possible while keeping required controls and connections usable.
