wearing options, and accessories for the audio processor, as well as instructions for
troubleshooting and proper care of the external cochlear implant equipment.
This symbol indicates information that is particularly relevant for parents of
implanted children.
Important
You are the operator of your/your child‘s audio processor, therefore we recommend
that you read this manual in its entirety. Do not perform any maintenance activities
other than those described in this manual (e.g. changing batteries). When performing
these maintenance activities, always remove the audio processor from the ear.
The adjustment to a cochlear implant and adequate tting 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 Cochlear Implant System may take a little time while you
become accustomed to this new method of hearing. You may choose to work with an
aural rehabilitation specialist or other clinician to help you maximise your communica‑
tion skills using the device.
After your initial tting, you will need to return to your CI centre on a regular basis
for reprogramming. Frequent reprogramming may be required during the rst year of
implant use. This is normal and necessary, and it reects a learning process that occurs
as you become more and more accustomed to stimulation through the implant. As more
time passes, you will likely nd that you may require fewer and fewer sessions. Most
users continue to require occasional adjustments for as long as they use their implant.
Please contact your CI centre or MED‑EL with any additional questions you may have.
