Interchangeable wearing options for all ages and needs

With a selection of six different battery packs, the flexible, modular design ensures that the OPUS 1 will grow with your needs. Different earhook sizes, all of which can be moulded for a custom fit, provide additional flexibility and comfort.


BabyBTE
As more and more infants and young children are receiving cochlear implants, MED-EL’s BabyBTE wearing configuration was developed to address their special needs. The entire processor is worn on the baby’s clothing, with no equipment worn on the ear. The BabyBTE is tamperproof and features a Status Light to allow parents to easily check that the processor is functioning correctly.

ActiveWear
During sports, fitness and other high-energy activities, keeping the speech processor secure is an important consideration. MED-EL’s ActiveWear allows the entire processor to be attached to clothing so that it remains securely in place. This wearing configuration is also much less susceptible to moisture from perspiration. For sports requiring helmets (cycling, inline skating, skiing, etc.), the ActiveWear option is especially convenient because the microphone is not covered and the helmet does not interfere with your hearing.


Children’s Battery Pack
The Children’s Battery Pack wearing option combines the advantages of wearing the processor at ear-level with the security of attaching the battery pack to clothing. For small children, this configuration is ideal because only the small, ultralight (2 g) control unit is worn on the ear. The battery pack is worn securely on the collar or other clothing. This design provides additional security: if the control unit is brushed off the ear while a child is playing, the attached battery pack ensures that the processor will not fall to the ground.


Angled Battery Pack
The Angled Battery Pack configuration is a compact and lightweight wearing option for comfortable everyday use. Its slim profile (8.5 mm) makes it ideal for children as well as teens and adults. An integrated input jack allows easy connection to FM systems and battery operated audio devices such as MP3 players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DaCapo Rechargeable Battery System
The new DaCapo rechargeable battery system makes
the OPUS 1 speech processor BTE even lighter! The system contains state-of–the-art rechargeable batteries, a new battery frame and a charger. The charger fits all international plugs and is easy to use. The batteries last for about 10-12 hours and have an estimated lifetime of about 3 years.

 

 

 

 

 

Straight Battery Pack
The Straight Battery Pack, used in the BabyBTE and ActiveWear configurations, can also be worn at ear-level, providing a stylish, streamlined design.

 

 

 

Remote Battery Pack
The Remote Battery Pack (RBP) lets you power the OPUS 1 with a single AA battery, either rechargeable or disposable. Three rechargeable batteries and a charger are included with the RBP. The Remote Battery Pack also features an input jack for easy connection to FM systems and battery operated audio devices, such as MP3 players.
