Ekaterina Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Hi everyone, How often does it need to return to CI centers for reprogramming of processors ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 28 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 28 The need for program adjustments really varies depending on how long we have had the CI and age. In the beginning there are several appointments to get activated and then to reach a stable program. For children after reaching a stable program, they tend to return every 6 months or sooner if a change in hearing is noticed. Many adults return once a year or sooner if a change in hearing is noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Mary, my 10 years old implanted daughter had her latest reprogramming about two years ago, so you've just confirmed my thoughts that it's time to get the new ones.

Ekaterina Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 Does it always have to be the same particular MedEL supporting center where we need to return to get reprogramming or it is possible to arrange an appointment for the reprogramming consultation with the audiologist in different locations, at the nearest MedEL center? (would be more comfortable during our long trips) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 30 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 30 That may vary from country to country so I suggest contacting the center you wish to go to and ask them directly. Wishing your daughter the very best! Ekaterina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
