Advanced Bionics CI-5293 Instructions For Use Manual page 48

• The Naída CI sound processor is designed so it can be worn in an off-ear
wearing configuration. We do not recommend the processor be worn in
the off-ear wearing configuration while using any beamforming algorithm.
• The intent of the WindBlock, EchoBlock, SoundRelax, and NoiseBlock
algorithms is to attenuate a portion of the signal in order to provide comfort
in specific environments. Attenuation of the signal may affect sound quality
and speech understanding.
Note: In the United States, Fixed Directional mode, StereoZoom, UltraZoom,
Sound Relax, NoiseBlock, WindBlock, and EchoBlock are approved for use in
pediatric recipients 6 years and above who are 1) able to complete objective
speech perception testing in order to determine speech performance and 2) able
to report a preference for different coding strategies or features.
