Having problems with message search?
Greta,
Have you tried a headset
(with large earphones, deep cupped)?
Can you set up a separate
program in your CICs for this use?
Do you have any other
hearing aids that are t-coil or FM compatible… then we could talk about
patch cords, neck loops, etc.
You may need to ask
another staff audiologist to listen or train other office staff to help you in
the interim, but I believe there is an accommodation for your situation.
Suzanne Yoder, Au.D.

Subject: [HOHAudiologists] CICs
and monitor earphones for listening to cochlear implant processors
Hi! I am an Au.D. student doing an extended placement in a pediatric
cochlear implant facility. In order to listen to the cochlear implant
processors to check the microphones, I need to use monior earphones.
The problem is that I wear CICs (Starkey Destiny) and obviously the
earphones won't stay in over my hearing aids. I have gotten custom
earmolds made with adaptors to fit the earphones that were taken over
my hearing aids so the mic opening matches up with the opening of the
molds. However, I am still getting a lot of feedback. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
