Judy,

Have you contacted your. Audie?

Re: Cochlear N5 Telecoil

I agree wholeheartedly that if it works for you, then that's wonderful. I keep

hearing from people how well it works for them and I always say, " I'm happy for

you, but it's NOT working for me. " I think they believe that if they tell me

often enough, it will change for me. I'm not sure that will happen and so I

think no one should be discouraged from speaking about any trouble they have

with their processors.

" I just confirmed that the

telecoil cannot be repositioned. " It appears then, that until Cochlear does some

re-engineering of the N5 that anyone upgrading to it or being fitted with one as

their first CI, will simply have to live with their old Freedom processor or

live with less than satisfactory telecoil performance. For any who are concerned

it would be helpful if you would express those concerns to your CI surgeon,

his/her audiologist and Cochlear's home offices and any Cochlear reps you might

have contact with. O. Frazier, NM Chapter CoordinatorHearing Loss

I am wondering, Judy, if the folks reporting good N5 telecoil performance

have actually tested it under the same conditions as you: seated at random

in a looped venue, say a church or like - and with no variation in sound

level as the head is rotated. That is the test - not with a neckloop, not

with a small living-room loop.

Hi judy I am same the only acceSsory I use with my N5 is the audio cable that I

coNnevt to my ipod and maybe laptop when I'm listening to music but then again

since I have only been activated for around 10 weeks of course I am still

learning. One thing foes help though, during my operation I did not lose My

natural hearing which is a good advantage I guess.

Re: Cochlear N5 Telecoil

I've had that thought too, Bob, because I've heard from folks that the N5 works

fine and yet they don't use the t-coil or loops. Like you, I had wondered if

they had given the t-coil and the looping environment a good trial. It's not

something that's done in a day or two, but takes weeks at the least.
