Cautions - Cochlear Nucleus 8 User Manual

Cautions

ꞏ Young children who are developing motor skills are at
greater risk of an impact to the head from a hard object
(e.g. table or chair). Impact to the sound processor may
cause damage to the processing unit or its parts.
Impact to the head in the area of the Cochlear implant
could damage it and result in its failure.
ꞏ Most patients can benefit from electrical stimulation
levels that are considered safe, based on animal
experimental data. The long-term effects of such
stimulation in humans are unknown.
