Hello,

And to hear what sound the microphone  transfers to processor .My daughter 3 year old has billaterial CI .She obviously can not explain if everything is in order .Processor sometimes is falling down on the ground has wear and rear, I suppose some dirt is coming through the holes.

You can test the Opus2 functioning by using the speech processor test device.

You can do the Ling speech test to see if your child is detecting the Ling sounds. Other than that, if you suspect your child is not hearing correctly you can contact your audiologist. There is no way to "listen in" to check sound quality that I am aware of.

I agree with Marybeth, your audiologist should be able to determine if there is a problem. Do you think there is an issue? If you do go see your audiologist, you can request a Medel rep to be at the appointment. At least here in the U.S. That is
