Re: N5 Remote - learning to use

[Guest guest]

I saw my audie about the N5 remote. Seems I must do a count to 4 to turn it

on, then wait to a count of 9 to start pressing buttons, & it goes to sleep

if unused to a count of 25. Why can't Cochlear make the remotes accessible

to those who are blind? I encourage all of you who are visually impaired or

blind to write to Cochlear. Thank you.

Iv got the remote and count to 4 to turn on and count to 9 to start using it???

I'm confused now mine works instantly after turning it on :s

, blindfold yourself for a day and see how far you get. Then report

back and tell us that everything works perfectly. No cheating now.

understand that some things that are accessible to the sighted, are not

accessible to the blind?

Rob I know its not I stand to be confined to a wheelchair if this siderosis gets

to me and that is not all if it gets to me big time it could affect my cochlear

implant. Google " superficial siderosis of the central nervous system " that's

what I have and it is bad and no joke I was just trying to bring some fun into

the thread that's all. Ps: also it is a rare condition.

So am I, , and i feel the same way. My mother and husband have to change

the settings for me because I can't see the digital display. the 3G was so

much easier to use because there was nothing to see.

Does anyone know the specific contact person & address to write about making

the remote accessible for the blind? Earlier I complained about the online

store not being accessible, & no one responded. I called Cochlear, & the guy

said, " Can't help you there. " Not a satisfactory answer. I'd like my letter

about the remote accessibility to go to one who will do something about it.

[Guest guest]

wendy, I responded to you last night - I clicked reply All. Maybe the emails

aren't going through. I'm in the same situation as you are, except your audi

cared, my doesn't. Mine said the first day that I wouldn't be able to do the

remote, in other words, don't bother. That's his attitude. I'm having a lot

of trouble getting adjusted to the N5 because I can't play with my own settings.

clark is also visually impaired the name of the awareness person at

cochlear, though I have no idea what she does particularly - she didn[ didn't

respond to an email i sent - is Didi - dwright@.... Good luck

if you can get anywhere with them.

Hi Trish,

I have recently been upgraded to the N5, and now find that I don't normally need

to use the remote at all.You can change channels, turn the sensitivity up and

down, and turn the telecoil on and off, by pressing the buttons on the

processor, and as long as the private signal is switched on, you can hear what

is happening.

Sadly, I don't see that the remote can be made to be workable for blind people,

unless a completely new device was produced, with a full talking menu system

included.

If the remote goes to sleep, which just turns off the screen, you can still

press the any of the four mechanical buttons that has a raised tap around the

screen to change the programs and the volume controls which are up and down and

sensitivity are adjusted left and right and they also have raised markings. In

the latest version of the firmware for the remote you could also have extra

large number displayed on screen for the program selections that some legally

blind persons may be able to see. While the remote is not perfect but it is not

the worst either. You still have the buttons on the processor itself if you find

that easier to use.

This address was given to me by Harvey, the National Program Manager at

Cochlear. She assured me, a couple of days ago, this was the best way to offer

suggestions and feedback. I have not used it so cannot vouch for it. She said:

The most direct way for you or any of our customers to do that is to direct

feedback and suggestions directly to Cochlear:

Yes, you're vorrect about that, except I'm right-handed and my CI is on my left

ear. I don't have much trouble with the remote. I can change programs, just

not sensitivity or volume it. I

Thanks, Tris. Would a different, supportive audie be possible for you?

[Guest guest]

,

Yes, the sensitivity, volume & program buttons are raised & easy to feel,

but all this count to 4, count to 9, goes to sleep in 25 is not accessible,

as well as switching between increasing/decreasing single/bilateral volume,

plus the environment-hearing ratio. I cannot see large numbers.

[Guest guest]

Thanks & Judy for the Cochlear contact. Going to write a letter now.

[Guest guest]

clark said the same thing. I've contacted the Helen Keller National

Center here on Long Island and asked if I can get specail training in using the

N5. They have an audie there, but they don't work specifically with CIs as far

as mapping them. Maybe they can give me assistance.

If the audi is not that familiar with the N5 its remote he/she can find the

manual online at

http://professionals.cochlearamericas.com/sites/default/files/resources/195993%2\

0Iss6%20CR110%20User%20Guide.pdf or

http://products.cochlearamericas.com/support/cochlear-implants/user-manuals-and-\

guides.

That should give enough information for the new audi to be able work effectively

with you. I hope this helps and that you are given training to be able to use

the remote.
