This user manual provides information and instructions regarding the MED-EL Cochlear
Implant System with the OPUS 2 speech processor. It includes descriptions of available
parts, wearing configurations, and accessories for the OPUS 2, as well as instructions for
troubleshooting and proper care of the external cochlear implant equipment.
Your MED-EL Cochlear Implant System consists of the PULSARCI
100
or SONATATI
100
Implants,
the external OPUS 2 speech processor (including FineTuner), the COMT+ P Coil, the external
components and accessories, and the related external hardware and software used by your
audiologist.
We recommend that you read this manual in its entirety.
Information particularly relevant for parents of implanted children is added, wherever
necessary, in this font and with this symbol.
The adjustment to a cochlear implant and adequate fitting of the device are gradual processes
that occur over time. It is important to remember that your ability to hear with your new
MED-EL system may take a little time while you become accustomed to this new method of
hearing.
After your initial fitting, you will need to return to your CI center on a regular basis for
reprogramming. Frequent reprogramming may be required during the first year of implant use.
This is normal and necessary, and it reflects a learning process that occurs as you become more
and more accustomed to stimulation through the implant. As more time passes, you will likely
find that you may require fewer and fewer sessions. Most patients continue to need occasional
adjustments for as long as they use their implant.
Please contact your CI center or MED-EL with any additional questions you may have.
