Bart-C Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hi Everyone My son had his CI's activated 2 weeks ago and so far everything is going well. I have had one major issue with the Med-el Opus 2 system to this point. The D-coil seems to disconnect very easily from the wire. My son is only 15 months old and very active. The coil seems to disconnect frequently in his stroller, in the car seat and in his hiking back pack. pretty much anytime the wire is resting or rubbing against something. A slight tug and the two become disconnected. We hike often and his D coil got disconnect on a trail. luckily I was able to find it in the dirt. That incident and a couple others are enough to make me paranoid about loosing the coil. They should have been created with a press in locking clip as to keep it from disconnecting so easily. I'm thinking of taping the two together. Dose anyone have any suggestions on how to secure the coil to the black wire better to keep it from disconnecting so easily? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leblisa Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi Bart, My cable does not disconnect so easily; it takes a very firm tug to separate the two, so I wonder if you should buy new cables to see if they fit more tightly. In the meantime, I'd tape them together. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpl2ci Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Bart, contact your MedEl CSR and explain your issue. I have the same issue, on occasion, so your son is not alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
