Description
The Aqua+ is a soft, flexible silicone sleeve that fits over a Nucleus 5 or Nucleus 6 CP810 or CP900 series processor. When used with the Aqua+ Coil, you or your child can enjoy water activities where additional protection is needed.
A water protection rating of IP68 is your invitation to get
wet without cumbersome cases or annoying cables – the Aqua+ sits
comfortably on the ear and can be submerged under 3 metres of water
for up to 2 hours.
The Aqua+ gives you the ability to swim or bathe with your sound processor without the need for any cumbersome cables, cases or a special sound processor specifically for water activities. The Aqua+ fits over your Nucleus Sound Processor behind your ear, making it easy to wear as normal.
For parents, your child will love the fact that they can enjoy the pool or beach, just like their friends. You will have the confidence that your child will be able to hear you in and around water and not miss a word.
The Aqua+ flexible sleeve surrounds your processor in a watertight
housing and a specially designed waterproof coil connects the sound
processor within the sleeve.
This kit contains everything you need to use your Cochlear processor with the Aqua+ in water. It is available in a choice of monaural (for 1 processor) or binaural (for 2 processors).
It's durable, reusable, compact, and of course, waterproof!
"It was absolutely amazing to see her so happy talking and hearing and not having to worry that someone may be talking and she can’t hear them [in the pool]... It was absolutely wonderful to see her smiling." – Helen, Mom to 12 year old Nucleus recipient, Nicole
The Cochlear Nucleus® Aqua+ Coil (with integrated coil cable) is used in place of your usual coil and coil cable while your sound processor is inside your Aqua+. It has a special plug that creates a seal when connected to your sound processor’s coil socket through the coil plug hole in Aqua+.
As with your usual coil, a coil magnet screws into the Aqua+ coil and holds it against your implant. The magnet strength and placement when used with Aqua+ should be the same as your standard coil.
Aqua+ Features:
- Can be submerged in up to 10 feet for 2 hours.
- Provides waterproof protection for underwater swimming in all water types, including salt water, chlorinated pools, soapy water and lakes.
- A safety line is available for added security.
- The Aqua+ silicone sleeve can be reused up to 50 times.
- Remote Assistants work with the Aqua+, so you can always have control over your or your child's hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which processor(s) is it compatible with?
The Aqua+ is designed to work with Nucleus 6 CP910 or CP920
processors and the Nucleus 5 CP810 processor with rechargeable
batteries only.
Can I use my regular coil and coil cable with the Aqua+?
No, the Aqua+ should only be used with the specified
Aqua+ Coil. This integrated coil-cable is designed specifically for
underwater swimming in all water types, while your standard coil
and coil cable are not.
Why can’t I use Zinc Air batteries?
Zinc Air batteries require air to remain active and will
not work inside the Aqua+ because the Aqua+ is air tight
What do I need in order to use the Aqua+?
The Aqua+ must be used with the Aqua+ Coil.
How is the Aqua+ used?
The user seals the sound processor inside the sleeve and
attaches the specially designed Aqua+ Coil to the processor. It can
then be worn behind the ear as normal. The Aqua+ is designed to be
used without any retention devices. However, if vigorous activity
is anticipated, it is recommended to use a retention device such as
the Mic Lock – Stirrup.
Can I wear the Aqua+ and Aqua+ Coil as my standard
configuration?
The Aqua+ and Aqua+ Coil are designed and tested for
periodic use in water. Cochlear does not recommend using the Aqua+
and Aqua+ Coil for continuous use as a standard configuration. You
may notice a difference in sound quality when using the Aqua+.
What happens if the Aqua+ fails?
In the unlikely event that a sealed Aqua+ fails, the
processors intended for use with the Aqua+ have an ingress
protection rating of IP57 which will be adequate protection if any
leakage occurs. The sound processor warranty remains valid if a
processor is damaged while used according to instructions with the
Aqua+
