Once you are familiar with your Cochlear Implant System, you will not find it difficult to handle
minor technical problems which are similar to those encountered in other electronic devices.
Functional problems are most frequently related to batteries or cables.
Using cables or plugs not recommended or delivered by MED-EL may damage your Cochlear
Implant System or cause uncomfortable stimulation and the warranty may void. If you have any
questions or problems, please get in touch with your CI center or nearest MED-EL office.
Switching the speech processor on or off can cause a soft sound. You can remove the coil
before operating the switch if this bothers you.
For your convenience you have been provided with a small grey Speech Processor Test Device.
The Speech Processor Test Device is a simple, optional troubleshooting tool for MED-EL
speech processors intended to be used by cochlear implant users or other persons interacting
with cochlear implant patients (parents, audiologists, teachers, etc.).
The Speech Processor Test Device is not necessary for the function of your speech processor,
it is just intended to help detect most common functional speech processor problems like
defective coil cables, defective speech processor microphones, weak batteries or other minor
defects that might cause improper functioning of the speech processor.
