Shiyi Wang Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Dear all, My 21-month old son was implanted bilaterally when he was 15-month old. We have two processors. One is Sonnet 2 and the other one is Rondo 3. Recently, he starts to refuse to wear his Sonnet 2 and insists to wear Rondo 3. This makes me wonder if he perceives sound differently when wearing Sonnet 2 vs Rondo 3. Since my son is still young to share his experience with me, I asked his audiologist and his early intervention teacher if Sonnet 2 and Rondo 3 may sound different but they do not have the impression that Sonnet 2 and Rondo 3 can sound different. Does anyone mind sharing their insights on their experience with Sonnet 2 vs Rondo 3? Thank you! Best regards, Shiyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 10, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 @Shiyi Wang Sonnet 2 and Rondo 3 both use similar sound management so should sound similar. Is it possible that your son finds the Rondo 3 more comfortable to wear? I hope his Sonnet 2 is working properly. Shiyi Wang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiyi Wang Posted July 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thank you, Mary! It is possible that my son finds the Rondo 3 more comfortable to wear. We just had a CI mapping session last week and they confirmed that his Sonnet 2 is working properly. But somehow he keeps taking off his Sonnet 2 or refuses to have Sonnet 2 on when we try. He also seems to be more vocal while wearing Rondo3. I may bring this up again to his audiologist and ask them to double check Sonnet 2 again.

John F Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Like @Mary Beth said, probably just more comfortable. I have both as well and have noticed no differences between the two. The Rondo 3 is definitely less cumbersome to wear OTE than the BTE. Shiyi Wang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 10, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 @Shiyi Wang You may also want to ask your audiologist to turn off the auto off function of the Sonnet 2 DL-coil. This way if it disconnects from the internal it will not power off. The difference in vocalizing between Sonnet2 and Rondo 3 makes me think he hears better with Rondo 3. So exploring that more with his audiologist is a great idea. Shiyi Wang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiyi Wang Posted July 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 @Mary Beth This is a great advice. I will definitely mention your suggestion to his audiologist. Thank you for helping me! Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
