HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted February 1, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 So yesterday I wore both the Sonnet and the Rondo2, mostly Rondo 2. I found that my scalp was feeling very tender. Fortunately, I had collected a package on Friday with weaker magnets. I switched out the magnets today. I'm surprised that I've gone from a 3S in both processors to 1S. Wondering if others have had similar experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Megan L. Posted February 1, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 @Jewel I'm currently wearing a 3 magnet on my left side and a 4 magnet on my right. However, like you, I'm feeling a little tender by the right side magnet so I'm wondering if the swelling has gone down enough that I could use a 3 magnet. I'll be digging around tomorrow to find a weaker magnet to try out 🙃 good thing we have options! Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mr-LJ Posted February 1, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I'm surprised that you both know what magnet strengths you have, I don't have a clue what mine is, how do I find out? HannahMcP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 1, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 @Jewel The combination of the magnet issue you mentioned last week and the need for weaker magnets makes me think it may be a great idea to contact your CI team. I know you can not travel there but possibly your surgeon is offering telehealth appointments? My Synchrony side started out using 3S in my Sonnet D-coil and 3S in the minus position in my Sonnet DL-coil. It has remained steady. It uses 4S in my Rondo 1 processor. My right side has a concert internal and started off using 3 but decreased to 2 in its first year. It uses 3 in my Rondo 1. I hope the tenderness goes away soon.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 1, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 @Mr-LJ You can see your magnet strength by looking at your Sonnet coil. D-coil has a twist out magnet with markings on it. DL-coil needs to have the cover removed to see the markings and to see if the magnet is locked into the + or - position.

Plus my audi told me 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mr-LJ Posted February 1, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Thank you, it's a D coil and no matter how hard I try to twist it isn't going to undo, so I'll leave put. 😞 Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @Mary Beth I am not aware of my surgeon offering telehealth appointments. My audi was aware that I was having a heavy feeling on my head. That's how I got the weaker magnets. I haven't felt any tenderness today thankfully. This morning I was planning to wear my Rondo 2 with the 1S magnet but it wouldn't stick to my head. Tried the Sonnet with the 1S magnet and it too wouldn't stick to my head although I had no problem last night. So I changed to a 2S on the Sonnet and it worked! Seems that I broke the magnet removal tool for the Rondo2 cos now I can't move the 1S magnet in the processor! Argh! I hate having to wear Sonnet to work and having to deal with wearing a mask too.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 2, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Right @Jewel D-coil magnets sit on top of the coil and twist to lock in place. @Dave in Pittsburgh DL-coils have covers that are removed the way you describe. I have both D-coils and DL-coils due to the timing of the Sonnet 1 release in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 2, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 @Jewel Maybe you can get a replacement Rondo 2 magnet tool? With OPUS2 or Sonnet 1 and masks, I use a band with buttons so the loops do not go behind my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I have a magnet size 3 in my Sonnet 2 on the right and a magnet size 3 in my Rondo 3 on my left. But the Rondo fits much stronger to my head than the Sonnet. Even when I try to wear the Sonnet or Rondo on the opposite (wrong) side. So these magnet sizes can't be compared with each other.

HearPeers Heroes Jewel Posted February 6, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 @Mary Beth I have one of those straps to wear at the back of my head but it doesn't keep the mask up. It sometimes slips. Med-El has shipped a magnet tool to my neighbour who is still abroad. She's coming next weekend so everything worked out.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 7, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 @Jewel That is great! I’m glad you were able to work something out to get a magnet tool. Jewel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
