Clarification on Nucleus 5
Enquiry:How do you turn on a MLxS/MicroMLxS before connecting the Euro Accessory Adaptor to the processor? They take their power from the processor battery?

bilateral use of FM system?
Enquiry: I have an enquiry regarding the use of radio aids with bilateral cochlear implants. At the moment there appears to be conflicting information regarding the benefits of using radio aids with these children, particularly in the early years. The suggestion has been made that young children should not have a radio aid till mid primary school age. The reason given for this advice is the fear that if radio aids are issued too early then this could lead to t...
