A case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the SP unit comprises a behind-the-ear speech processor (BTE) unit; andinterior SP storage area configured to enclose the BTE unit. 8. A case as claimed in claim 1, wherein internal power connector comprises a slide-in connector. 9. A case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing and cover are respectively configured such that the entire SP unit is positionable within the interior SP storage area when the cover is in the closed state. 10. A case for use with a speech processor (SP) unit, the SP unit including a SP housing, sound processor circuitry within the SP housing, a headpiece port and a power connector associated with the exterior of the SP housing, the case comprising: a case main portion including a housing with an interior SP storage area configured to enclose the SP unit and an exterior;a power supply located within a case power portion that is configured to be attached to, and detached from, the case main portion; andan internal power connector operably connected to the power supply, located within the interior SP storage area, and configured to be connected to the SP unit power connector. 11. A case for use with a speech processor (SP) unit, the SP unit including a SP housing, sound processor circuitry within the SP housing, a headpiece port and a power/data connector associated with the exterior of the SP housing, the case comprising: a case main portion including a housing with an interior SP storage area configured to enclose the SP unit, an exterior and a removable external control panel;a power supply; andan internal power/data connector operably connected to the power supply and to the removable external control panel, located within the interior SP storage area, and configured to be connected to the SP unit power/data connector. 12. A case for use with a speech processor (SP) unit, the SP unit including a SP housing, sound processor circuitry within the SP housing, a headpiece port and a power connector associated with the exterior of the SP housing, the case comprising: a case main portion including a housing with an interior SP storage area configured to enclose the SP unit and an exterior;a power supply; andmeans, located within the interior SP storage area, for operably connecting the power supply the SP unit power connector when the entire SP unit is within the interior SP storage area. 13. A case as claimed in claim 12, wherein the power supply is located within a case power portion that is configured to be attached to, and detached from, the case main portion. 14. A case as claimed in claim 12, further comprising: an internal housing headpiece connector located within the interior SP storage area and configured to be connected to the SP unit headpiece port. 15. A case as claimed in claim 14, further comprising: an external housing headpiece connector operably connected to the internal housing headpiece connector, configured to be connected to a headpiece cable connector, and accessible from the exterior of the case main portion. 16. A case as claimed in claim 14, further comprising: a headpiece cable extending through the case housing and connected to the internal housing headpiece connector. 17. A case as claimed in claim 16, wherein the headpiece cable is permanently secured to the case housing. 18. A case as claimed in claim 12, wherein the SP unit comprises a behind-the-ear speech processor (BTE) unit; andinterior SP storage area configured to enclose the BTE unit.
