Most of the processors are a single unit worn on the head. The Cochlear Baha 5 SuperPower has two components joined by a cable: the processor and the actuator. The actuator is worn on the head and the processor can be worn behind the ear, below the ear, on the opposite ear from the actuator or clipped on to the body. If you have this processor you may be advised how the processor should be worn to suit your hearing loss best.
