Feedback (whistling) problems
See figure 11
• Check to ensure that your sound processor is
not in contact with items such as glasses or a
hat, since that can cause feedback. Also ensure
the sound processor is not in contact with your
head or ear.
• Check that the battery compartment is closed.
• Check that there is no external damage to the
sound processor.

Share the experience
See figure 10
Family members and friends can "share the
experience" of bone conduction hearing. The test
rod can be used by others to hear with the sound
processor.
To use the test rod
Turn on your sound processor and snap it onto
1
the test rod using the tilt technique. Hold the
rod against the skull bone behind an ear. Plug
both ears and listen.
To avoid feedback (whistling), the sound
2
processor should not touch anything other
than the test rod.
