Welcome to Cochlear Quick Tips. These Quick Tips are intended to give you “bite-sized” information that can be used when working with our products. In this edition, we will discuss MRI resources.
Successful MRI scans depend on understanding the exact implant model(s) the patient is implanted with. Did you know that your patients have easy access to that information? Here are two ways your patient can find out what Cochlear implant they have:
- Log in to their Cochlear Family account:
- Select “My Equipment”
- Then select “Implant”
- Their Cochlear™ Nucleus® Smart App (image below):
- Navigate to the Menu (3 horizontal lines in upper right-hand corner)
- Select “Settings”
- Then select “About”
Once the MRI technician receives the implant model information, they can visit MRI Guidelines for Professionals for specific imaging guidelines.
The Cochlear Nucleus Smart App is available on App Store and Google Play. For compatibility information visit www.cochlear.com/compatibility
patients watch TV, talk on the phone and listen clearly in noisy situations. For added convenience, patients can switch between streaming to different True Wireless accessories all on their iPhone®.
Nucleus 7 Sound Processor constantly optimizes listening in different environments. SmartSound iQ with SCAN automatically analyses and adjusts settings without the need for multiple programs or patient interaction. For patients who may have residual hearing, the Nucleus 7 Sound Processor comes Hybrid™ ready so that they can use Hybrid Hearing. By using an acoustic component to amplify low frequency sounds, your patients can access the benefits of combined acoustic and electric hearing in a single device.8
