摘要

A sound processor assembly having a coil support device which allows for the coil to be moved without damaging the plastic components or deforming the shell body. This is done by making the ear shell of the sound processor assembly, whether an integrated sound processor assembly or a linked sound processor assembly, out of two separate polymers: a first polymer that does not soften when heat is applied, and a second polymer which does. The first polymer is used for the first polymer zone of the shell which is shaped to the ear canal, while the second polymer is used for the section of the shell which supports the coil. This allows the shell to be heated, thereby softening the second polymer but not the first, and allows the coil to be repositioned to a new location.
