INTRODUCTION
During the last two decades, cochlear implants (CI) have become a well established treatment for
children with a profound hearing loss. Increased focus on young recipients has been facilitated
through the implementation of newborn hearing screening programs. Combined with better objec-
tive methods for the diagnosis, these eff orts have resulted in positive outcomes in speech, language
and educational development of early implanted children. With a cochlear implant and an FM system,
children can overcome noise, distance and reverberation in acoustically challenging situations. The
FM system ‘focuses’ speech directly to the child’s ear – and the child becomes an active partner in the
conversation rather than an observer.
When an FM system is connected to the speech processor, the child hears the input from both the
processor microphone and the FM system microphone. The sound received by the microphone of the
processor will be slightly softer compared to the normal listening situation in order to give priority
to the sound from the FM system. This mode is called MIX mode and is advisable for most listening
situations. Should a situation require listening to an external device without disturbing background
noise, the EXT mode is available (not available in DUET). In EXT mode, the processor microphone
is deactivated, and only the signal of the external device is sent to the processor.
MIX/EXT MODE FOR THE REMOTE BATTERY PACK
When using the Remote Battery Pack, the MIX and EXT functions are selected by the EXT/MIX switch.
This manual will show how easy and straightforward it is to connect the CI-system to the Oticon Amigo
FM solution so children with a CI will benefi t from their Amigo FM solution.
For detailed information about use, suggested fi tting and maintenance of the individual processors,
please refer to relevant instructions from MED-EL.

speech processor program options to accommodate an FM system.
Set the volume setting of the FM system to minimum (access the T20/T21/
WRP programming menu to reduce the FM or FM + HA gain in the Amigo
receiver). Set the volume of the speech processor to normal. Once you
have connected the two instruments, increase the FM volume slowly until
it is comfortable. Consult the Amigo FM Fitting Guide for more information
