There are
many questions when deciding on an implant for a young child.
Listed below are some common questions.
How heavy is the BabyBTE?
The BabyBTE is the ultimate lightweight, tipping the scales
at only 0.39 oz., including batteries.
How do I keep the speech processor on my baby?
Children are curious and full of life. The BabyBTE is
worn on your child’s clothing, securely attached and out
of reach with no equipment on the ear.
How do I know when the speech processor needs new batteries?
The BabyBTE has a status light that lets you know when the speech
processor needs special attention, such as low batteries. The
status light also blinks in patterns to help troubleshoot common
problems.
What protection will my child have against
static electricity?
The unique SoundGuard
feature ensures that stimulation levels
remain as set by your audiologist. If the speech processor encounters
static electricity, the status light will flash. By simply restarting
the speech processor, proper functioning is restored with no
loss of program information and no need to visit the audiologist.
Introduce
your child to sound...
In addition to the BabyBTE, your child will
receive MED-EL’s Children’s Welcome
Kit, which serves as a fun introduction to the
world of cochlear implants and sound. A colorful jigsaw
puzzle helps children become familiar with the CI process
in a hands-on fashion. A quacking duck and ringing toy
mobile phone can be used during therapy. And a big cuddly
Meddy and fun Meddy backpack are sure to become favorite
toys.
