Change the coil magnet
You need to choose a Cochlear Magnet that is the correct
strength–if it is too weak the coil may fall o, and if it is too
strong it may cause discomfort.
Magnet strengths range from ½ (weakest) to 6 (strongest) for
standard magnets and 1/2(I) (weakest) to 4(I) (strongest) for ‘(I)’
magnets.
You might also need to change to a stronger magnet to use
some retention accessories (e.g. Headworn adaptor).
Note: If your clinician has provided you with a Cochlear Magnet
Reverse Polarity, use it as described here for a normal magnet.
