CLINICAL GUIDANCE | SECTION TWO

What to do if you reach the safe limit level

The levels listed in the table below are considered to be conservative values

of the stimulation safe limit, i.e. they are signiﬁcantly below levels at which

damage has ever been observed in neural tissue. These boundaries should,

however, be treated with caution, and as suggested below.

Table 2: Programming recommendations when approaching safe limit levels

Situation Action

Current Level reaches

the safe level and

recipient still hears no

sound

Do not stimulate at a higher level on this channel

Current Level reaches

the safe level and

recipient hears only a

quiet sound

Do not increase the level further unless all channels

exhibit the same phenomenon and the recipient would

not get functional beneﬁt from their sound processor

without increased amplitude. Consider either decreasing

or increasing pulse width to see whether you can achieve a

louder sensation compared to the new safe level.

Current Level reaches

the safe level and the

recipient already hears

a loud sound

Do not increase the level further even if this channel is not

as loud as adjacent channels

Note: If the safe Current Level has been exceeded, inform the recipient of the

potential consequences as detailed above. It is only with a recipient’s consent

that you may set the levels above the recommended limits.
