CAUTIONS

• Remove external equipment to stop stimulation if sounds cause discomfort.

• It is important for the headpiece to have the correct magnet strength to

avoid discomfort or retention issues. If an insufﬁcient number of magnets

are used, the headpiece may fall off more than is acceptable. If too many

magnets are used, the recipient may experience irritation or discomfort. Consult

a clinician if there are any concerns regarding magnet strength. If deemed

appropriate, an audiologist may insert additional magnets or remove magnets

from the headpiece. Do not place additional magnets in the headpiece unless

under the direction of a cochlear implant professional. If the recipient experiences

any redness, irritation, or discomfort, discontinue use of the headpiece immediately

and contact a cochlear implant center. See the headpiece Instructions for Use for

additional information regarding adjustment of headpiece magnet strength.

• If the sound processor or accessories become unusually hot or warm, discontinue

use immediately and contact Advanced Bionics or a clinician.

• Store additional headpieces away from items with magnetic strips (e.g. credit

cards, hotel room key cards), as this may de-magnetize cards.

• Portable and mobile RF communications equipment, including radios and

cellular phones, may affect sound quality of the Naída CI Q90 sound processor and

accessories; however, there is no safety hazard associated with such equipment.

• The Naída CI Q90 sound processor and accessories should be used in accordance

with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information provided in the Guidance and

Manufacturer’s Declaration section of the Instructions for Use.

• Only use the charger provided for charging AB PowerCels. Do not use it to

charge other batteries. Do not try to charge Naída CI Q90 PowerCels using a charger

other than the one provided by Advanced Bionics.

• Remove batteries from your sound processor when they are drained to prevent

damage from possible leaking.

• Do not expose any part of the Naída CI Q90 sound processor or accessories to

extreme heat, such as an oven, microwave, or hair dryer.

• Only charge batteries using charger(s) recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not use your AB myPilot or ComPilot accessories when instructed not to use

wireless electronic devices, such as on airplanes.

• The AB myPilot should not come within 1/2” (1 cm) of the Naída CI Q90 processor

Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide 5

while stimulating the implant. Doing so could cause the implant and sound

processor to lose lock. If this happens, power down the processor and power back

on (by disengaging the battery and reattaching).

• The digitally-coded, inductive transmission technology used in this device is

extremely reliable and experiences virtually no interference from other devices.

It should be noted, however, that when operating the device near a computer

terminal or other strong electromagnetic ﬁelds, it may be necessary to be at least

24” (60 cm) away to ensure proper operation. If the Naída CI Q90 does not respond

to the implant device because of an unusual ﬁeld disturbance, move away from

the disturbing ﬁeld.

• If the AB myPilot stops being able to transmit commands to the sound processor,

it may be necessary to re-pair the AB myPilot with your sound processor. Consult the

Pairing to the AB myPilot section of this user manual.

• If volume commands from your AB myPilot to your sound processor seem erratic,

re-pair the AB myPilot and the Naída CI Q90.

• NOTE: When streaming audio with the ComPilot, if your headpiece becomes

unlocked, turn off the ComPilot prior to re-locking your headpiece. Not doing so

may prevent the sound processor from communicating with your implant.

• Patients are advised that the use of WindBlock, EchoBlock and/or SoundRelax

may affect the quality of sound.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

High levels of static electricity may damage electronic components of your sound processor or

implant. Care should be taken to avoid exposure of the system to static electricity. ESD is present

when you feel a spark jump from your body or your hair

stands on-end.

The following are examples of situations where high levels of electrostatic charge may be created:

• Walking, crawling, or sliding on carpets.

• Sliding on plastic slides.

• Exiting an automobile.

• Pulling sweaters on and off.

• Touching TV or computer screens.

• Removing bedding materials.

6 Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide

To reduce the likelihood of electrostatic discharge damage:

• Touch a person or object with your ﬁngers prior to touching your or your child’s headpiece, cable,

or sound processor.

• Touch metal surfaces with your hand prior to allowing equipment to contact the metal surface.

This is particularly important on the playground where high levels of static electricity can be

generated. It is important to discharge any static electricity by touching a metal surface with your hand

prior to allowing the sound processor, cable, or headpiece to come into contact with the metal

surface.

• Take care to avoid contact between your cochlear implant equipment and metal surfaces

when exiting a vehicle.

• Remove cochlear implant equipment prior to removing clothing that may contain electric

charge (e.g. sweaters).

• Do not touch TV or computer screens. If screens are touched, be sure to touch an object

other than your implant system to discharge any charge build-up prior to touching any part

of your implant system.

• Use fabric softener on clothing and bedding.

Airport Security Metal Detectors

Metal detectors and security scanners, including full body scanners, will not damage your

implant system; however, metal detectors may be activated as you pass through. To avoid

hearing any unwanted sound when walking through metal detectors or security scanners, you

should reduce the volume on the sound processor or remove your headpiece.

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors, sometimes used in lighting sensors and security systems, will not damage

your implant system; however, they may be picked up by the headpiece microphone and lead

to distorted sound quality when you operate your sound processor in the immediate vicinity

of such a sensor. Additionally, if the ultrasonic sound is of a very high intensity, the processor

system microphone may become damaged. To avoid hearing any unwanted sound, you should

reduce the volume on your sound processor or remove your headpiece when passing near an

ultrasonic sensor (e.g. in entrances to libraries).

X-ray Machines

X-ray machines will not damage your sound processor or implant, but may damage your Naída

CI Q90 and head piece microphones. Avoid placing any system microphones in any checked

or carry-on baggage that is screened with X-ray. During airport security screenings, the sound

processor and microphone should be worn through the metal detector or examined by hand.

The Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor and Accessories Overview

The Naída CI Q90 is the newest and most advanced cochlear implant sound processor

available.

As evidence of Advanced Bionics’ dedication to providing the best hearing possible, the Naída

CI Q90 provides access to AutoSound™ technology, which dynamically adapts to every listening

environment, automatically adjusting volume levels to optimize hearing. The Naída CI Q90 is

also capable of utilizing all approved sound processing options offered by Advanced Bionics.

Depending on the country in which you live, this may include HiRes™-S, HiRes™-P, HiRes Fidelity

120™, ClearVoice™, HiRes™ Optima, CIS, and MPS.

The Naída CI Q90

The Naída CI Q90 is a miniature computer that converts sound picked up by the microphone

into electrical signals that are used by the cochlear implant to enable hearing. It is able to store

up to ﬁve (5) user-selectable programs for optimal hearing across all listening environments.

The Naída CI Q90 has diagnostic indicators, such as LEDs and internal audible alarms. The

Naída CI Q90 LEDs provide important information about Naída CI Q90 status, battery life,

program position, audio input, and Naída CI Q90 error conditions. Internal alarms provide a

discreet way for adult recipients to get important information about battery status, program

number, and volume level. For more information, refer to the Naída CI Q90 LEDs and Internal

Alarms sections of this User Guide.

The Naída CI Q90 can be programmed using Intellilink™ safety feature to prevent use by

a cochlear implant other than the one for which it has been programmed. IntelliLink is an

important safety feature for very young children and bilateral implant recipients.

The Naída CI Q90 can also be programmed bilaterally allowing the recipient access to up to

ten programs on a single processor, up to ﬁve programs for the left ear and up to ﬁve programs

for the right ear. When programmed bilaterally by your clinical professional, the Naída CI Q90

will detect which ear it is worn on and provide access to the appropriate programs for that ear.

Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide 13

The Universal Headpiece

The Universal Headpiece includes a coil that transmits sound signals and power to the implant,

as well as a magnet well, which houses the necessary number of magnets to ensure the

headpiece stays on throughout the day. The headpiece is covered by a Color Cap, which snaps

securely in place. The headpiece also functions as a sound input source, having a microphone

embedded in it. The microphone picks up sound from the environment and transfers it to the

sound processor via a detachable cable. Once the sound processor has converted the sound

into electric signals, it sends the information to the implant via the cable and headpiece. The

cables come in a variety of colors and lengths to suit all needs. The Naída CI Q90 works with

the Universal Headpiece.

The Universal Headpiece (UHP), works with all Advanced Bionics’ sound processors, and is

intended for use with the Naída CI Q90 outside of water environments.

For more information, refer to the Replacing Headpiece Cables section of the User Guide or the

UHP and/or Cable Instructions for Use.

AB myPilot

The AB myPilot is an advanced remote control that leverages Phonak technology to enable

wireless communication for unilateral and bilateral Naída CI recipients. The AB myPilot provides

convenient controls to manipulate program, volume, sensitivity, source-speciﬁc listening checks,

and ZoomControl for the Naída CI Q90. The AB myPilot also has the ability to provide status

and battery information for Naída CI processors. For bilateral Naída CI users, AB myPilot offers

one-touch binaural controls, allowing changes to be made to both processors at once.

Color Cap

Microphone Cable Connection Port

14 Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide

ComPilot

The ComPilot allows unparalleled connectivity for Naída CI recipients, connecting them

wirelessly to Bluetooth® enabled phones and devices or MP3 players for speech or stereo music.

It is also compatible with Phonak’s portfolio of FM receivers via a euro socket. Additionally,

when unpaired, the ComPilot is able to stream to compatible Phonak instruments. This allows

bimodal wearers -- people who wear a Naída CI on one ear and a Phonak compatible hearing

instrument on the other ear -- access to bilateral wireless streaming.

When the ComPilot is paired to the Naída CI, it provides remote control functions to adjust the

Naída CI for increased listening comfort in addition to wireless streaming. When paired, you are

able to make program and volume changes via the ComPilot only to the Naída CI. If you are

bilaterally implanted, changes can be made to both Naída CI processors simultaneously. The

ComPilot also connects both Naída CI processors wirelessly to other communication and audio

devices, allowing you to hear the signal in both ears.

Naída CI Listening Check

The Naída CI Listening Check’s unique design makes conducting a diagnostic check of the

microphone and audio input sources easy and accessible. The Module itself does not have

a power source, as it relies solely on power from the Naída CI power sources (PowerCels,

Zn-Air Battery Pak, AAA/03 PowerPak or Off-the-Ear Power Options). The Naída CI Listening

Check allows an unaided listener to listen to the exact microphone conﬁgurations the recipient

is using. Alternatively, if the recipient owns an AB myPilot, the unaided listener can do a listening

check of all audio sources independently by selecting them individually on the AB myPilot menu.

Wearing the Naída CI Q90

The Naída CI Q90 has been designed with ﬂexibility in mind. The processor was built to the

smallest size possible for user comfort when worn on the ear without compromising performance.

Recipients also have the option to wear the processor completely off the ear, using the clip, or

partially off the ear with the power source removed from the processor and securely attached

elsewhere on the recipient’s body. These designs ensure the most comfortable, secure, and

discreet wearing options possible. Naída CI cables come in a variety of lengths and colors

which recipients can change to suit their preference. This section describes a variety of wearing

options for the Naída CI Q90.

The Naída CI Q90 processor can be worn in a variety of locations depending on the recipient’s

age and preference. Some Naída CI wearing locations may obscure the sound processor LED;

therefore, internal alarms may be helpful to notify adult wearers of processor status. Internal

alarms can be activated by your hearing care professional.

The Naída CI Clip comes in left and right conﬁgurations to provide improved wearing ﬂexibility

and the ability to wear the processor in a secure, completely off-the-ear style. This need is

particularly great for small children and many physically active CI users.

The Naída CI Clip is intended to attach directly to clothing, hair, or in a preferred wearing

location. There are both left and right sided clips to suit the recipient’s preference.

The Naída CI Clip ﬁts all ﬁve sizes of PowerCel rechargeable batteries, as well as the Zn-Air

Battery Pak. The clip also includes a silicon cover for added protection when the T-Mic 2/

Earhook is detached.

Inserting the Naída CI Q90 in the Clip

Additional Functionality of the Program Button:

The Program Button also allows the user to enter or exit Standby Mode. Standby Mode is a

low power state the Naída CI Q90 can enter to save power without having to be turned off.

Standby mode allows the PowerCel or Zn-Air Battery Pak to remain attached to the processor

without causing a major drain on battery life. For example, if a user on a long ﬂight wants to

leave the device on his ear but turn off the sound, he can actively put the device in Standby

Mode to conserve power. The beneﬁt of this feature is that the user can quickly resume use of

the device and not worry about draining his battery. Standby mode can be enabled or disabled

by a hearing care professional in the SoundWave™ ﬁtting software.

Actively Entering Standby Mode:

• The user must hold down the program button for four seconds.

• Upon entering Standby Mode, an orange LED will brieﬂy light up before fading out. This

indicates the processor has entered Standby Mode.

NOTE:

LEDs will not light up during Standby Mode.

Passively Entering Standby Mode:

The device will also enter Standby Mode passively if left unlocked for more than ﬁve minutes.

Exiting Standby Mode:

• To exit Standby mode the user simply presses the program button brieﬂy once.

• An orange LED will light up on the device to indicate battery status followed by a blinking green

LED to indicate the current program setting. The device is now fully powered and ready for use.

Changing Volume

The volume control is located on the spine of the Naída CI Q90, just above the program button.

If the hearing care professional has not disabled the volume control, 10 presses on the top

portion of the volume control will take the recipient to maximum volume output, while 10

presses on the bottom portion of the volume control from the baseline volume position will take

the recipient to the minimum volume output. The Naída CI Q90 processor’s LED is located in

the middle of the volume control.

Connectivity

Using FM/Roger

The FM and Roger features help many cochlear implant users, particularly school-aged children,

overcome difﬁculties hearing a speaker at distance in the presence of noise and reverberation.

The Naída CI Q90 sound processor enables use of wireless FM and Roger systems through

three different modes.

The ﬁrst way to access FM/Roger is by attaching the FM or Roger receiver directly onto the

ComPilot streamer. The signal is then transmitted wirelessly to the Naída CI Q90. This signal can

be transmitted to one or two Naída CI Q90 processors for bilateral recipients. FM/Roger signals

can also be streamed to a Naída CI Q90 and a Phonak Hearing Instrument simultaneously for

bimodal users.

Pressing brieﬂy on the top portion of the

volume control will increase the volume.

Pressing brieﬂy on the bottom

portion of the volume control will

decrease the volume.

Pairing to the AB myPilot

In order for the AB myPilot to control the Naída CI(s), it must be paired to the processor/s. The

AB myPilot may be un-paired and paired to multiple Naída CI processors. This allows one AB

myPilot to be used with all Naída CI recipients in a classroom. This may also be convenient for a

caregiver with several implanted children. They would only need one AB myPilot to have remote

control access to everyone.

The AB myPilot must be paired to your Naída CI Q90 within ﬁve minutes of the processor

starting up. This time period is referred to as the Pairing Window and it begins upon the

attachment of the PowerCel or Zn-Air Battery Pak or Power Adapter to the Naída CI Q90.

After the ﬁve minute Pairing Window ends, pairing is no longer possible. If you need more time

to pair, you must remove and replace the Naída CI battery to begin the Pairing Window again.

Using the Telephone

There are a variety of ways to use the telephone with the Naída CI Q90 sound processor.

Consult a hearing care professional for recommendations regarding telephone use and which

of the following options are best:

• Use the telephone receiver. The telephone can be used by placing the telephone receiver

directly over the T-Mic 2, processor microphones or headpiece microphone, if activated. It is

sometimes necessary to try different phones and providers, particularly when cellular phones

are used, in order to ﬁnd the optimal telephone signal.

• Use T-coil. The T-coil is programmable by a hearing care professional in the SoundWave™

ﬁtting software. If there are any questions about whether it is activated and in what program,

please contact the implant center. When using the T-coil it may be necessary to move the

phone receiver around the Naída CI Q90 to see where it works best.

• Use Bluetooth®. Any Bluetooth compatible device can be synced to the ComPilot to stream

phone calls directly to the Naída CI Q90. The microphone for the speaker is located on the

ComPilot, so the phone can be up to 15 - 30 feet (5 - 10 meters) away and still be in use.

• Use DuoPhone (for bilateral recipients). DuoPhone is programmable by your hearing care

Push them together until they snap into place.

42 Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide

professional in the SoundWave ﬁtting software. With the phone placed to one ear, the conversation

is heard in both ears.

• Use a patch cable. A patch cable may be used to connect directly to a cellular or cordless

phone. The patch cable connects to the headset jack of the phone on one end and

the auxiliary jack of the ComPilot on the other. An Audio Interface Cable is available from

AB, or a custom-made patch cable from an independent vendor may be required. Consult

with a hearing care professional or an AB representative for further information regarding

this option.

• Use a speaker phone. Using a speaker phone eliminates the need for additional equipment

when using the telephone. Simply turn on the speaker phone and communicate in your

regular manner.

Telephone Tips

• Be patient. Remember that phone use takes practice and will improve over time.

• Practice listening with familiar speakers, such as family members, friends, your therapist, or

hearing care professional.

• It may be helpful to become familiar with the topic of discussion ahead of time. For example,

tell your friend to call you at a speciﬁc time to talk about a speciﬁc topic (e.g., Call me at 6:00

p.m. to talk about going to the movies).

• You may need to practice with several telephones to ﬁnd one that is right.

• When selecting a cellular phone, remember to try the phone ﬁrst.

• For additional telephone support and listening exercises, visit TheListeningRoom.com.

Telecoil

Using the Built-in Telecoil

Telecoils provide wireless access to hearing-aid-compatible telephones and induction-loop

systems (found in some public facilities). Telecoils capture electromagnetic ﬁelds in the

environment and deliver these signals to your processor. A telecoil is built into your processor

and is programmed by a hearing care professional. To activate your telecoil, ﬁrst consult with

the hearing care professional to determine if a program in your processor has been created for

its use. If so, the telecoil will activate once the processor is switched to the designated program.

For your telecoil to be effective, the recipient must have access to a looped system or a hearing

aid-compatible phone. This will allow the telecoil to receive the electromagnetic ﬁeld generated

by these devices. If the recipient is attempting to use the telecoil with a non-compatible audio

device, no sound or a low-level humming or buzzing noise may be heard.

Naída CI Q90 Sound Processor User Guide 43

CAUTION: Telecoils are known to be susceptible to magnetic noise generated by

most industrial lighting ﬁxtures, store and airport security scanners, band scanners,

power transformers, motor starters, and monitor screens.

4 Mode d'emploi du processeur de son Naída CI Q90

MISES EN GARDE

• Retirez l'équipement externe pour interrompre la stimulation si les sons sont

inconfortables.

• Il est important que la force de l'aimant de l'antenne soit correcte aﬁn d'éviter

toute gêne ou tout problème de maintien. Si le nombre d'aimants présents est

trop faible, l'antenne peut se détacher trop souvent. Si un nombre trop important

d'aimants est utilisé, alors l'utilisateur peut ressentir une gêne ou une irritation.

Consultez votre audiologiste en cas de problèmes liés à l'intensité de l'aimant.

Le cas échéant, un audiologiste peut ajouter ou retirer des aimants de l'antenne.

N'ajoutez pas d'aimants supplémentaires à l'antenne sans en avoir reçu

la consigne de la part d'un professionnel de l'implantation cochléaire. En cas

d'apparition d'une gêne, d'une irritation ou de rougeurs, cessez immédiatement

d'utiliser l'antenne et contactez un centre d'implant cochléaire. Pour de plus

amples informations concernant le réglage de l'intensité de l'aimant de l'antenne,

consultez les Instructions d'utilisation de l'antenne.

• Si le processeur de son ou les accessoires chauffent de façon inhabituelle, arrêtez

de les utiliser et contactez immédiatement Advanced Bionics ou votre clinicien.

• Rangez les antennes de rechange éloignées d'objets comportant des pistes

magnétiques (par ex. les cartes de crédit ou les cartes électroniques d'hôtel), car

cela pourrait les démagnétiser.

• Les dispositifs de communication à radiofréquence portables ou mobiles, y

compris les radios et les téléphones portables, peuvent altérer la qualité sonore

du processeur de son et des accessoires du Naída CI Q90 ; cependant, il n'y a pas

de risque associé à de tels dispositifs.

• Le processeur de son et les accessoires Naída CI Q90 doivent être utilisés conformément

aux informations relatives à leur compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM) fournies dans

la section Recommandations et déclaration du fabricant des instructions d'utilisation.

• Utilisez uniquement le chargeur fourni pour charger les batteries AB PowerCel.

Ne l'utilisez pas pour charger d’autres batteries/piles. N’essayez pas de charger

les batteries PowerCel du Naída CI Q90 à l’aide d’un chargeur autre que celui

fourni par Advanced Bionics.

• Retirez les piles usées de votre processeur de son pour éviter tout risque

d'endommagement par fuite d'une pile.

• Évitez d'exposer les pièces du processeur de son ou des accessoires du Naída CI

Q90 à des températures extrêmes, telles que produites par un four, un micro-

ondes ou un sèche-cheveux.

• Les piles doivent être rechargées uniquement avec le ou les chargeurs

recommandés par le fabricant.

• N'utilisez pas vos accessoires AB myPilot ou ComPilot lorsqu'il est interdit d'utiliser

des appareils électroniques sans ﬁl, comme dans les avions.

Mode d'emploi du processeur de son Naída CI Q90 5

• AB myPilot ne doit pas approcher du processeur Naída CI Q90 à moins de 1 cm

(1/2 po), lorsque l'implant est stimulé. Le non-respect de cette consigne pourrait

entraîner la perte du lien entre l'implant et le processeur de son. Si cela se produit,

éteignez le processeur et rallumez-le (en retirant la batterie/le compartiment pile

et en la/le replaçant).

• La technologie de transmission inductive à codage numérique utilisée dans

cet appareil est très ﬁable et ne subit en principe aucune interférence produite

par d’autres appareils. Il faut cependant noter qu’il peut être nécessaire

d’éloigner l’appareil d’au moins 60 cm (24 po) d’un équipement informatique

ou autres sources de champs électromagnétiques puissants, pour assurer

son fonctionnement correct. Si le Naída CI Q90 ne répond pas aux signaux

de l'appareil implanté en raison d'un champ électromagnétique perturbant

inhabituel, éloignez-vous du champ perturbant.

• Si AB myPilot cesse d'émettre les commandes au processeur de son, il peut

être nécessaire de rapparier AB myPilot et votre processeur de son. Consultez

la section Appariage au AB myPilot du présent mode d'emploi.

• Si les commandes de volume AB myPilot reçues par le processeur de son

semblent irrégulières, rappariez AB myPilot et le Naída CI Q90.

• REMARQUE : en cas de diffusion audio avec le ComPilot, si votre antenne se

déverrouille, désactivez le ComPilot avant de re-verrouiller votre antenne. À défaut,

la communication entre le processeur de son et votre implant sera empêchée.

• Nous tenons à informer les patients que l'utilisation de WindBlock, EchoBlock et/

ou SoundRelax peut affecter la qualité du son.

Décharge électrostatique (DES)

Des niveaux élevés d'électricité statique peuvent endommager les composants électroniques

de votre processeur de son ou de votre implant. Il convient donc de prendre soin d'éviter d'exposer

le système à l'électricité statique. Une DES se produit lorsque vous « prenez le jus » ou lorsque

vos cheveux se dressent sur votre tête.

Les exemples ci-dessous décrivent des situations propices à la formation d'une charge

électrostatique importante :

• Marche, marche à quatre pattes ou glissades sur moquette.

• Glissades sur des toboggans en plastique.

• Sortie d'une voiture.

• Mise et retrait de pulls.

• Contact avec des écrans de téléviseur ou d'ordinateur.

• Changement de draps et de couvertures.

6 Mode d'emploi du processeur de son Naída CI Q90

Pour réduire le risque de dommages dus à une décharge électrostatique :

• Touchez une personne ou un objet avec vos doigts avant de toucher votre antenne, cordon

ou processeur de son, ou ceux de votre enfant.

• Posez la main sur les surfaces métalliques avant d'y poser les dispositifs électroniques.

Ceci est important notamment dans les zones de jeux pour enfants où des niveaux élevés

d'électricité statique peuvent être générés. Il est important de décharger toute électricité

statique en plaçant votre main sur une surface métallique avant d'y poser le processeur de

son, le cordon ou l'antenne.

• Prenez garde d'éviter tout contact entre votre système d'implant cochléaire et des surfaces

métalliques lorsque vous sortez d'une voiture.

• Retirez votre système d'implant cochléaire avant d'enlever des vêtements pouvant générer

des décharges électrostatiques (par ex. des pulls).

• Évitez de toucher les écrans de téléviseur ou d'ordinateur. En cas de contact avec un écran,

veillez à toucher un objet autre qu'un composant de votre système d'implant cochléaire aﬁn

de libérer toute charge électrostatique accumulée avant de toucher votre système d'implant

cochléaire.

• Utilisez un adoucissant pour tissus pour vos vêtements et votre literie.

Portiques de sécurité dans les aéroports

Les portiques et les scanners de sécurité, y compris les scanners corps entiers, n'endommagent

pas votre système d'implant cochléaire ; cependant, l'alarme peut se déclencher lorsque vous

passez le portique. Pour éviter d'entendre tout son indésirable lorsque vous traversez un portique

ou un scanner de sécurité, réduisez le volume du processeur de son ou retirez votre antenne.

Capteurs à ultrasons

Les capteurs à ultrasons, utilisés parfois en tant que capteurs pour des systèmes d'éclairage ou de

sécurité, n'endommagent pas votre système d'implant cochléaire. Cependant, leur présence peut

agir sur le microphone de l'antenne et altérer la qualité sonore du processeur du son qui s'en ver-

ra déformée à proximité immédiate du capteur. De plus, dans le cas où les ultrasons sont très in-

tenses, ils peuvent endommager le microphone du système de processeur. Pour éviter d'entendre

tout son indésirable, réduisez le volume du processeur de son ou retirez votre antenne lorsque

vous passez à proximité d'un capteur à ultrasons (par ex. dans les entrées de bibliothèques).

Appareils à rayons X

Les appareils à rayons X n'endommagent pas votre processeur de son ou votre implant, mais

peuvent endommager vos Naída CI Q90 et coudes d'antenne. Évitez de ranger les coudes du

système dans des bagages enregistrés ou bagages à main qui sont contrôlés par des appareils

à rayons X. Lors des contrôles de sécurité dans les aéroports, prenez le processeur de son et le

microphone avec vous pour traverser le portique de détection ou faites-les examiner à la main.
