FM and Nucleus Freedom: Maximizing Access to Sound

This course addresses the following considerations for coupling FM systems to cochlear implant sound processors:

• When, where, and how to fit the FM system following cochlear implantation?
• What can cause interference or noise?
• How can performance be validated?

This is a Recorded Course which requires either a Windows-based computer or a Mac with speakers/headphones to view. More information is available in the FAQs/Help section.

Length: 60 minutes

Cost: Free to View

Course Objectives:
