14 Cochlear Update | FM Solutions

Depending upon the age of the child, Cochlear recommends at least

3 - 6 months of cochlear implant experience prior to FM use. This gives

the younger child time to develop some basic listening skills and allows

the clinician to measure baseline speech perception performance. Given

the known interference issues with FM systems in general, children

under ﬁve years of age may not be appropriate FM candidates unless

they are closely monitored.

Children should demonstrate adequate communicative skills (oral

or sign) in order to provide feedback regarding what they hear. They

should demonstrate sufﬁcient expressive language to respond reliably

to age-appropriate listening tasks and indicate when the sound quality

suggests a problem with the FM system and/or sound processor such

that troubleshooting is required. Cochlear recommends performing a

functional listening evaluation with the FM system (see section 7 for

further information).

It is recommended that a parent, therapist, audiologist or teacher be

trained to conduct daily listening checks to ensure the quality of sound

is optimal and to verify the proper operation of FM equipment (e.g. a

listening check with monitor earphones).

FM systems are designed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in difﬁcult

listening conditions, such as in background noise or when the speaker is far

from the listener. Cochlear does not recommend using an FM system in

listening environments where it is not needed.
