Using a coil spacer
If your coil magnet is too strong, it may cause discomfort or skin
irritation. You can reduce magnet strength by using a weaker magnet.
If this does not resolve the problem, you can use a Cochlear
™
Nucleus
®
CP800 Series Coil Spacer. In some cases where the coil is too close to
the implant, the coil spacer can improve coil performance.
Your clinician will let you know if you need to use a coil spacer.
To place the coil spacer on the coil:
1.
Hold the coil between the
thumb and index finger
with the underside of the
coil facing up.
2.
Hold the coil spacer in the
other hand and align the
coil spacer clips with the
grooves in the coil.
3.
Clip the coil spacer into
place. Do not force the coil
spacer into place. It should
fit easily.
