Re: Re: Battery life N5 / Fast and slow mapping

On a different note for a second, the blind list for CI people doesn't work. My

husband just tried the website.

Re: Battery life N5 / Fast and slow mapping

It is all about the speed at which the processor runs whilst forming the input

to send to your implant. On Cochlear brand devices the strategies are called

" ACE(RE) " (high speed), " ACE " (slower speed), and " SPEAK " which mentions,

an older slow strategy. The slower speed maps are less power hungry. Here in the

UK, you receive a printout of your maps after every session.

Received wisdom had taught that the greater information input of high speed

maps gave a better result to those who can handle them (some cannot). I am now

told that lower speed mapping is back in favour, and was given a map to try, on

which the jury is still out..

Hope this helps.

It's a deaf blind list for CI users but, as it turned out, it worked and I'm

confirmed. I don't know what's going to happen though.

Also,

ACE has many speeds.... the faster will use up more battery power and with the

slower ACE, battery life will be longer

Happy Hearing!
