Troubleshooting: Signal Check, Monitor Earphones

Offering ways to uncover problems

Signal Check: For checking signals

Here’s a little wand you should always have on hand for troubleshooting problems. It verifies that your processor’s transmitting coil is sending a signal across your skin, to the implant. If the signal going to your implant ever cuts in and out, or disappears completely, simply place the Signal Check over the coil. Make sure the processor is switched on. If the red light lights up, you’ll know the coil is working.

Monitor Earphones: For checking sound

The Monitor Earphones allow a caregiver with natural hearing to check whether a processor’s microphone and internal amplifier are receiving sound. Monitor Earphones only detect a signal from the microphone or an attached accessory. They don’t assess signal quality nor represent the processed sound a recipient hears.
