This section contains information on the safe use of your Cochlear Implant System. Please read
this information carefully. Your CI center or nearest MED-EL office will assist you with any
additional questions.
Before you undergo medical treatments or examinations, always inform your doctor that you
have a cochlear implant.
Expected performance with the cochlear implant cannot be predicted accurately. Past
experience with the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System may provide some general guidelines.
Duration of deafness, age at implantation, primary communication mode, communicative ability
and the patient’s auditory environment all have an impact on the success with the cochlear
implant, as do other factors, some of which may be unknown.
Do not use the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System with any device other than those listed in
this manual or approved by MED-EL. If you have problems with any component of the system,
refer to Chapter 9, Troubleshooting.
If your child refuses to wear the system or indicates uncomfortable hearing sensations,
remove the system immediately and have your child’s system checked at your clinic
or CI center.
