The sound quality from my sound processor is poor or isn't as good as it was.
-
Check the battery door.
Make sure the door is completely closed and there's no damage to your sound processor's external casing.
-
Check that you're using the correct batteries.
The Osia® 2 Sound Processor uses a high power 675 (PR44) zinc air disposable battery designed for hearing implant use. If you use a standard 675 battery your sound processor will not function.
-
Check the sound processor cover.
Make sure the cover is attached to the base without any visible gaps.
To remove the cover:
- Open the battery door.
- Press and lift to remove the cover.
To attach the cover:
- Place the cover over the front part of the sound processor base unit. The button should be aligned with the cover opening.
- Press down on the cover around the button until you feel a "click" on both sides of the button.
- Press down on the cover between microphone ports until you feel a "click". The microphone ports are the two tiny holes you can see on the top of your sound processor cover.
- Close the battery door.

You may need a new program.
If none of the above solves the issue, your sound processor may need a programming adjustment. Check with your clinician at your next visit.
