Before sending the recipient home, it is recommended that you determine the
batteries that are best to use with the recipient’s MAPs.
Freedom sound processors (Nucleus 22 implants)
Custom Sound prompts you to measure the skin flap and optimize the
power level when you first Go live with a MAP, Click Batteries in the Battery
Suitability box or Write a program to the sound processor. The calculated
power level is used for all MAPs created or opened in the same programming
session.
ESPrit
™
3G and ESPrit 22 sound processors (Nucleus 22 implants)
Custom Sound prompts you to measure the skin flap and optimize the power
level when you first Go live with a MAP or write a program to the sound
processor. You cannot go live or Write programs to the sound processor until
the skin flap measurement is performed, or a manual power setting is selected.
ESPrit 3G sound processors (Nucleus 24 implants)
Custom Sound prompts you to perform an implant measurement when
you first Go live with a MAP or Write a program to the sound processor.
The implant measurement is saved for the recipient until such time as a
new measurement is taken. Custom Sound uses the measurement when
automatically calculating the optimized power level for each new MAP. You
cannot go live or write programs to the sound processor until the implant
measurement is performed, or a manual power setting is selected.
Note: The impedance measurements, compliance levels and voltage information
are saved to file. These two measurements are performed when you create a new
MAP, modify an existing MAP, the first time you go live with a MAP or when you
go live and compliance measurements have not been measured. Custom Sound
uses these measurements to estimate the maximum current level allowed for each
channel in order to provide compliance guidance when setting current levels using
live speech.
For progressive MAPs or MAPs based on an optimized MAP with modified
levels, Custom Sound can predict the power level by measuring the implant
supply voltage and impedances.
