Visit www.cochlear.com/clinic-finder to find the nearest clinic in
places you are travelling.
• Take a printout from your clinician of your most recent
program in case you need help with your processor.
• If you have a backup sound processor, check that it is
programmed correctly and take it with you.
• It’s okay to move through metal detectors and full body
scanners with your sound processor on.
• Ask your clinician for a Patient Identification Card. In
the unlikely event that your implant sets off a metal
detector the ID card will help explain that you have an
implanted medical device.
• If you need to remove your sound processor as you
move through airport security, place it in a case in your
hand luggage.
• Your sound processor transmits high frequency radio
waves when switched on, and may need to be placed in
a flight-safe mode during take-off and landing (see Use
flight mode on page 38). Check with airline staff
before flying if you are unsure.
• If you use a remote control for your processor, switch it
off before take-off as it transmits high frequency radio
waves when switched on.
