The NRH-ADP acoustic headphone adapter is designed for use on the Siemens MRI scanners. Most have a built-in patient sound system and the headphone connector port resembles a 90-degree plastic plug. There are two different possible locations for the headphone port. The older Siemens units positioned the headphone port on the side of the patient bed, fairly close to the magnet entry. Most of the newer Siemens MRI units positioned the headphone port further away from the magnet, at the foot-end of the patient bed. We have two different adapters and these should be selected based on the location of that connector port.

If your headphone port is located near the end of the bed, furthest from the magnet area, then you will need the longer tubes that come with our NRH-SYM adapter. Most will not need the full 2 meter length tubing, and that will be trimmed back in order to optimize the sound quality. If your headphone port is located closer to the magnet (on the side of the patient bed), then you will want to order the NRH-ADP adapter, because that adapter does not need require any additional tubing to reach all the way inside the magnet.
