2 – PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
- The Saphyr® behind-the-ear processor requires numerous settings to achieve the best sound
quality. Checking the settings at least once a year is recommended to ensure the implant
system is working properly. For young children, parents and teachers are advised to monitor
the behavior of the child when they are using the processor. If pain or odd sensations are felt
during use, immediately disconnect the antenna and call your implantation center.
- Using the various testing tools and following the recommendations below will help you solve
most problems. If the problem persists, we recommend that you contact your implantation
center, local distributor, or the Neurelec customer service department.
