  • Page 6: Intended Use - Indications - Contra-Indications

    Contra-indications INTENDED USE The SONNET audio processor is an external part of the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System. The MED-EL Cochlear Implant System is intended to evoke auditory sensation via electrical stimulation of the auditory pathways for severely to profoundly hearing impaired individuals who obtain little or no benefit from acoustic amplification in the best aided condition.

  • Page 7: Contra-Indications

    • Placing/removing coil over/from the implant site As the SONNET is a component of the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System, all indications stated for the MED-EL Cochlear Implant System are applicable. To obtain optimal benefit from the cochlear implant, candidates shall be sufficiently motivated and shall understand the importance of returning to the CI center for regular processor programming, assessment sessions and training.
